As one other Hewins on facebook put it, I’ve been “collecting Hewinses” on facebook recently. I met Amber Hewins, who also lives in Brooklyn, has a farm share, likes pickles, and twitters. Maybe we’re related, I don’t know yet. But I did determine that there is a Loren Hewins in Indiana who is my fourth cousin. We share great-great-great grandparents. Pretty cool. I want to build a big family tree.
Maybe I should start collecting Torres’. That should be easy.
Just to let you know that there are other Hewins’ out there not on facebook. I’m a third cousin to your father making you a third cousin once removed. I’ve been working on the Hewins history for several years.
