What stars originated in the same stellar nursery as Sol?

We don't know. The Sun has been around for a long time, and has orbited the galactic core a number of times, while its orbit around the core has undergone many chaotic perturbations. Stars born from the same stellar nursery might be right around the corner, or they might be at the opposite side of the galaxy. Currently, we can't even tell which stellar nursery the Sun was born from, or whether it still exists.
