Many years ago, my then fiance worked for an oil company. One day he was called to reception to see a client who had the same surname as me (I had an VERY unusual surname). She was from Australia and, intrigued by the name. He asked her if she would meet me to see if we were related. It turned out that our great-grandfathers had been brothers. Hers had emigrated to Australia from the Suffolk village where some of my relatives still live!
