I think everyone would agree that this blog has allowed us to connect and get to know everyone in the family a lot better than we knew each other before. Blogging allows all of us to stay connected beyond Thanksgiving and Christmas.
With such a large family, I've also been in contact with people I haven't seen since I was five.
Earlier this week I was on this blog. Occasionly I'll look back at old posts, and read old comments just for the fun of it. One post specifically caught my attention: Lisa's Classroom. It caught my attention because there was a comment there that I hadn't seen before. The author is anonymous but here's what they said:
Hi Feyen's!
We are Feyen's as well! Our great grandfather and mother were Nicholas and Katherine from Luxembourg (and Feyen Germany just north of the border) They came in the mid to late 1800's and settled in Wisconsin and then Minnesota. Very Catholic and all blue eyed and blond. There are definately triplets and twins in the family....any relation? cgdaniel@comcast.net
Someone help me out! I haven't responded yet, because I simply don't know if we're related.
But seriously, how awesome! The internet does amazing things sometimes, and how great would it be if we were able to connect with these long lost "possible" relatives!
If this "anonymous" person is reading this blog update as well... thank-you for commenting, this has obviously grabed my curiosity! This would be so cool if we are related.

we're big but how big?
Edited to add:
Well Matt and Nick are having the 99th baby in mid-June, obviously I didn't hear about that for awhile. I guess that just leaves the 100th!
So Michelle says 98. But I still wanna know who is going to have the 99th and 100th???
With the recent birth of Grace Fredricks, nobody is pregnant. There are almost 100 family members on the Feyen side, and I think it's probably quite rare when there is a time that nobody is pregnant. Does anyone know how many people we have now that Grace was born? Is she number 97, 98, etc..? I know Scott and Lisa wanted to have the 100th!
Give your thoughts in the comment box... how many of us are there now?
