Alfred Hitchcock is reported in # 369 as my 7th cousin, 3 times removed, through our MRCA, Cicely Penny (1601-1683), the great grandmother of Moses Hitchcock (1717-1768), my 6th great grandfather and the furthest documented ancestor I have in that particular lineage. Now, when I look at the connected lineages of cousin Alfred and myself, I see that Grandmother Cicely had two daughters : Hannah Chapin (1644-1719) and they each had a son, Nathaniel Hitchcock (1677-1761). Coincidence? I think not. Failure to notice the trees are identical? I think so. It appears the MRCA is really Nathaniel Hitchcock, the father of Moses. So, now I have a doable TO DO item! And I do not need to fear Vertigo or the Birds!
