Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Married to a first cousin

I'm pretty sure Denny's mom and dad were brother and sister........

you make me giggle, that picture could be out of my wife's family album, her family getting to texas circa 1840's.

Susie Lee done fell in love,
She planned to marry Joe.
She was so happy 'bout it all,
She told her Pappy so.

Pappy told her, Susie gal,
You'll have to find another.
I'd just as soon yo' Ma don't know,
But Joe is yo' half brother.

So Susie put aside her Joe
And planned to marry Will.
But after telling Pappy this,
He said, "There's trouble still."

You can't marry Will, my gal,
And please don't tell yo' Mother.
But Will and Joe, and several mo'
I know is yo' half brother.

But Mama knew and said, my child,
Just do what makes yo' happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe;
You ain't no kin to Pappy.

LOL!

Pictures like that always make me wonder how the family line didn't end right there.

i had this first cousin that was extremely hot, miss Long beach calif, at one point. But i knew it was never to be.
now years forward at about age 50 i find out she was NOT the blood daughter of my uncle, no blood relative.
Talk about lost chances.

LMAO...😂🤣😎

in a small town in arizona, you need to wear name plates.
had a woman sitting on my front porch some years ago, i kept talking about my aunt. She said " your aunt, she's My aunt"
she was married and had kids by the son of my half sisters uncle.
another one i grew up with we just figured out the family relationship a few years ago, i just knew was not available in high school.

Growing up I always felt kinda wrong at family reunions because I had some SMOKIN' hot cousins...not one or two...there were 7 aunts on one side and all of their daughters were HOT!

A couple of years ago at our grandmother's funeral all of us cousins were shooting the bull and hanging out....my brother's wife up and says to him "Which one is the one you were saying was so hot?...they're all beautiful..." We all got to laughing so hard we had to go outside the funeral home.

Seems like everybody just takes it for granted you're going to procreate.

First cousin or anyone else, you don't HAVE to have kids!

Live life!

DF,

Pic was made right before he died in 1925. She lived until 1939. He was born in Stafford County Va in 1854. Lost all their property and he came to texas at age 12.

lol... read the special circumstances some states have on the following link:

My wife's Uncle was married to my Aunt, so their kids are first cousins to each of us. Although she and I share absolutely no ancestry.

But still we do get teased a lot, even by our children.

We had a female clerk at the factory, who was a couple cards shy of a full deck. After yet another ridiculous blunder she would blather for a minute about, "It ain't my fault, my parents was first cousins."

The genetic blunder left her a bit shy in the smarts dept. But she was blessed in ways that would have greatly pleased even Jorge.

Why is it wrong?

Where are all of our West Virginia members?

They had 9 kids. LOL

Kentucky does not allow first cousins to marry..........but the Mennonites marry their first cousins, and how they're legally doing it is a good question. I know for a fact that they marry their first cousins too, not just heresay.

I guess the old saying, the closer the kin, the better it goes in, is true.

Oh boy, this thread is about to go off the rails.

After sex one day the brother said to his sister "Gee, Sis, you are better than Mom!"

Sister said "Yeah, that's what Dad said too!"

Very true. Quite a few of the local Amish and Mennonite families have children that are seriously afflicted with some form of disorder or another. They have been building a clinic here, and I asked one of the men in charge of the fundraising if it was going to be open to the public. He kind of evaded answering me direct, but finally said that it was for their children who had these rare diseases.

I wanted to say..........wise up man, and quit interbreeding so much.

Naw, not much point as it appears he is ill-equiped to understand the problem.
