Yes, Grandparents had children A and B. A is parent of the male/female of the couple you mention and B is the parent of the other. I think the main reason it is frowned on is the possibility of the couple having children with genetic problems because of the close relationship of the parents.
If you Google "relationship charts" you will be offered several choices. Two people who are the same number of generations distant from a common ancestor are same level cousins. Consider the following rule of thumb: FIRST COUSINS share a grandparent in common. SECOND COUSINS share a great-grandparent in common. THIRD COUSINS share a great-great-grandparent in common. And so on.

You are saying, if I am translating this correctly, that the children of the grandparents are full siblings to each other? In some cultures that is not illegal nor immoral, but most societies frown on it. In other societies, third cousins needed permission to marry from the 'leaders'. What do you want the computer to do? This is a possible judgement taboo, not a physically impossible one. On a documentary I saw last year it was of British couples doing this and they had formed a 'support' group. If I am reading the situation wrong, I am sorry.

I have a married couple that share/have the same grandparents but different parents. I guess this makes them second cousins. I did not notice this when I input the data for this couple as each's data came from different sources. Later I connected them by deleting one copy of the grandparents and hooking the 'loose' children to the remaining duplicate grandparents. When doing the 'ancestor' display, the ancestor chart in V7, and the ancestor chart in Charting there is nothing to call these common grand parents to my attention as each 'ancestor' line from the married couple lead back to separate listings/boxes of the same grandparent people. (if shown, the person-id is the same for the same person at the different location in the ancestor chart. ) My question is, does anyone have a trick, or method to highlight this on reports/charts/screens? Would you expect Legacy to warn you when entering data that a 'duplicate' seems to exist?
