No hanky-panky here, just strange coincidence....

I'm gonna call names (not their real ones) so this will be easier to explain. My Mom's mother is Sue, Sue's mother is Joy. Joy died while Sue was a small baby and Sue's dad married Joy's widowed sister named Betty. Betty had been married to my Mom's great uncle Bill on her Dad's side of the family. This made Betty my (step) great grandmother on my mom's mother's side of the family and my great-great-aunt on my mom's dad's side of the family. Everyone called her Aunt Betty.

I dont know of any cousin's marrying, but there is a family I know where the girls marry young... I mean like 13 and 14 years old. They have to have parental permission and the parents give it. I know 3 generations of the family and a couple of the girls married at 13, but most waited until the were 15 or 16.

adam & eve had nearly perfect dna? that is, adam & eve had the same dna?

then the variations (evolution?) began to assert themselves.

gamma rays, x-rays, falls on the head, etc. etc.

od's of mushrooms, apple brandy, etc. etc.

given time changes occurred.

mistakes built up higher.

then, interbreeding.

is that about it?

We had double cousins on one side of family. Brothers and sisters from one family all married brothers and sisters from another family.

would we have to go back some 6,000 years for all of our ancestors to be adam & eve?

that'd be a question for ringman, maybe and he ain't signed in on this august thread.

the beauty of geneology is that at some point in the past, every body was akin to everybody.

but that was afar back in time and space. after the point in time when people were no longer akin to each other, then red hair emerged?

Growing up in a small town, I knew everyone and when I graduated high school, I counted the people that lived in the city limits. At that time, there was 117 citizens and I was kin to 92 of them.

I have five in Canada. My one of my father’s sisters married one of my mother’s brothers. Big families, small town.

My grandmother married the nephew of her first husband and had a bunch more kids so my mom has some half brothers and half sisters that are also cousins.

The original families who settled that area all intermarried and keeping track of who was related to who and how they were related was a chore to say the least.

My mom is married to my uncle. They were each married to siblings (my dad and aunt, his sister). After spouses passed (my mom and dad divorced when I was young and she remarried) they started talking. Next thing you know my mom is on the phone with me while I was in Taiwan ( 5:00 AM) telling me that she and my uncle Ray are getting together. Wasn't really sure I heard it right. Had to get back to the US and talk with her again about it.

That said, even though there's no blood and he's from Tennessee, still makes people pause when I tell them.

They're madly in love and he is simply the finest man I've ever known. We should all be so lucky as to find such love in our lives.

Life is complicated. May they be blessed with many years of health and happiness.

A little youthful play is different from marring and raising kids.



Guess I'm the other end of the scale.

I have no aunts, no uncles, and no first cousins.

Both my parents were an only child.

You almost didn’t happen...

We have it easy. The young folks in Iceland are said to carry their genealogy information with them; when they meet someone of interest, they can compare family trees and learn that they can or can't date / marry / procreate with the other.

Small towns in Wyoming are somewhat similar to the island nation of Iceland. The kids are essentially all related and need to go beyond their neighborhood for the betterment of the species.

My mom's family came to America in 1649 we can not point the date but it was the same for my dad's so growing up in North East PA after 300 years of family you had to go out of the county and maybe find someone not related smile
