I know this happened, at least in my family. I could not believe it when I first found this. My great grandfather, gave his daughter to his brother when she was 18. I thought it was odd that her maiden name was not on license. While we may not all be super intelligent we got by. As far as I know there were no great deformities or retardation from this and the line lives into their late 80's to 90's, I am the only one with any defect and that is in my heart. So to say I was amazed to learn this news I was not totally shocked, just really got me interested in my Azorean roots. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
