omg me too. I'm just wondering now, like how distant is okay? Some of these are like fifth cousin once removed and such.

Consanguinity issues are present at first to first cousin couplings but genetically speaking they tend to be strong bonds that strengthen family groups with a relative minimum of birth defects, mostly manifest in immune issues... according to an article I read in national geographic like six years ago.

William Greenleaf Eliot, founder of Washington University in St. Louis (and grandfather of poet T. S. Eliot), married his first cousin once removed but more notable is that his father, mother, and wife were first cousins of each other.


THAT one tripped me out.

Ha! Brings back the memory of when my husband and I went to get our marriage licence. We had to take the monsterous oath in front of the clerk of courts, we both laughed when we had to swear we were no closer in relations than first cousins.
