Karen, I was talking to my (now grown up) kids the other day about this. They were saying that one girl they knew now has 5 children all by different fathers. I think some young people do their "doing the rounds thing" experimenting with different relationships, and seem to have children almost as a side effect, not considering what it means to bring another life into the world, and to accept the responsibilities of doing so. |

I doubt things were ever much different Barry. Not in rural areas in the early 19th century anyway. Or perhaps that's just my ancestors, lol! |

Now you say that Fiona, looking back on OH's tree, we have two men marrying maiden ladies of the same surname.......so it wasn't a brother marrying his deceased brother's wife...... perhaps cousins...... |
