Is this weird or paranoia?

About 7 years ago (husband,3 kids,myself) moved house to a small town we had only ever visited for holidays.When we first lived here,people seemed overfriendly,stopping to chat and saying things like "Will you be at the Cystic Fibrosis dinner?No doubt,we can count on you again" and people waved from cars,and a particular lady rushed up to me in a shop and said "hello.so what did you think?Are you happy with it?" I kind of mumbled"yes,sure" wondering ,does she mean the house we bought?The new car?What and she gave me a strange look but she still waves to me and calls out Hi like she knows me.Then finally I am waiting in a shop and the shopkeeper said to me "Your not her at all,are you?" so I said "I guess not,who am I not?" and she told me,theres a lady in town who works in an office of a smallish business thats lived her all her life and she is the spitting image of me,or me of her,I guess.So,obviously this ladies friends are mistaking me for her,thus the strange conversations.
Then,my sister,who lives 3 hours drive away,is in a large city carpark and a woman rushes up to her and starts babbling about how she and her husbnad have decided to not buy the house,my sis is all"Who are you and what house?",the woman says "the house you showed us through in (our town)" and it turns out,this woman thinks my sister is a real estate agent who lives here in this town!My sister and I look so unalike people always assumed we were adopted.We werent,she takes after our father and I after our mother.My sister has very distinctive hair (like an afro but blonde).She has never in her life been mistaken for anyone else before.
Now,I find out my father,who often went off alone on fishing trips,used to come here to this town.He has never mentioned that fact,even though he knew we were buying a house here,wouldnt you think he would say something like "nice town,I used to go there a lot when you were small".
Are you thinking I have some step/half sisters here?The town and the neighboring town have a total of 3,000 residents max,is that too small to have people coincidentally looking so alike?Would you persue it further?

Maybe an alien landed and secretly cloned your town?! :wink:

Just kidding. I would say if you suspect that your dad did other things besides fishing on his trips, and want to cure your curiosity, it's worth a shot to do some investigating. Could be as easy as a blood test.

Then again, sometimes it's better to just let sleeping dogs lie...
I'd find the lady and tell her your story, leaving out the part about your father. You'll both get a good laugh about it. Then if a friendship develops you can learn more about her past.......

But no, I wouldn't persue this as a possible missing link in the family. No use stirring up trouble.
