    Before the Industrial Revolution, there was a strong possibility that you might have married your cousin. Then in the late 19th century, something changed.http://nyti.ms/2F55CCq

        If you try and research your family history, if you try to go back too far, a lot of people had the same last name. The churches keep the best records, birth, marriage and death records,

        Yes, I've researched my genealogy, and I'm amazed at how common it was. It's almost embarrassing to think about how inbred I actually am. Lol

        Inbreeding is never a good thing. Best offspring is the one from parents with greatest genetic difference. Skin & eye colour; & height are very rudimentary genetic markers.

        To be clear, the good thing was that it is no longer acceptable.

        Have they finally stopped in the red states? I just assumed they were ALL related.

        It’s still acceptable in some countries but like 3rd or 4th cousins....

        With a fourth cousin you only share about 6.25% of your genome. Generally not a problem. Odds are you don’t even know who your fourth cousins are.
