Well it shocked me. I'm sure my great great uncle married his half sister's daughter. He shouldn't be doing that should he.

Kay???? Report 16 Apr 2009 22:18

oh well Uggers there was at least a little bit of unconnect gene to make it alright,,

I'd be more uncomfy had it been direct cousins ,,now that I find a bit unlawful.I could never no way ever concive marrying a blood relative such as a cousin,,,,it would be like marrying a sibling.....:((

Oooh no, I don't think he should be doing that! I have lots and lots of cousins marrying. It was often arranged marriages too.
