I am eager to hear stories like that.

My supervisor at work is into genealogy and says she sometimes feels the presence of deceased relatives when working on a genealogical problem.

So far the silence from my relatives is deafening, but I'm open to incoming calls! Hint, hint, Aunt Julie and Great-Great-Grandpa Henry.

I did have a meaningful coincidence once. I went to the church where my grandmother was baptized and my great-grandparents were married. I looked up at the images of saints on the wall and noticed St. Bridget and St. Agnes were side by side. My great-grandmother was Bridget Agnes, and the paintings were added years after she attended that church. The devotion to those saints was likely common enough in that community, but still it was a nice moment for me.
