Matt Groening(of SIMPSONS fame) is my 3rd cousin! Wow!
Hello,
Just found out that Matt Groening, the creator of the tv show THE SIMPSONS is my third cousin! I knew that my adopted family of Mennonite heritage seems to be related to every other Mennonite, it seems.
Matt's dad Homer Groening, and my Mom are second cousins. My Grandpa Daniel Klaassen is first cousin to Matt's grandpa Abram A Groening. Matt's great grandpa and grandma are Abraham Groening who married Aganetha Klaassen. Aganetha Klaassen is the sister to my great grandpa P. A. Klaassen(or Peter A. Klaassen). Their parents are Abraham Klaassen and Helena(nee Martens)Klaassen, who were born in Russia.
Anyhow,
Later!
