you've never met that have reached out to you via facebook or anything else?
Yep, and just recently, and one of them by accident.

Pretty cool.
When I was a kid my mom and dad took us kids to Houston where we met my cousin's Fayne and Claudia. I was posting in a group, one of those, "You know you're from McAlester if..." about the town I grew up in. And I saw a post by Claudia, and I didn't know who it was, but she had my mom's maiden name. So I asked if she knew if we were related and sure enough, it was the people we went to see in Houston that time and I haven't seen them since, until I saw her on Facebook.
Another cousin, who I had never heard of, contacted me on there. Same side of the family. She told me a lot about some of the people in my family that I had always heard of and heard about, but had never met. Was like a blast to the past.
