Getting to know someone new

Hello to my lovely readers out there!

So, ever since I came across the same surname in class when I changed groups, I 

was very interested in who this person sitting in the same period is. Well, today I

introduced myself to her - Tamara. After getting to know the basics about each other,

she told me that her father and she are talented drawers and language learners, and

that her father is a distant relative to a painter called Jovan Bijelic. Well, that blew me

away! Is it just coincidence, or are we actually distant relatives?

I am keen to find out more about this topic!
