If A and B are siblings, then that is the relationship that is closest, and should be used. In my own family, I am my 3rd, 5th and 7th cousin to myself; but I would not call my brother my 3rd cousin, or my sister my 5th cousin. It is not inaccurate, but can be misleading. I agree the marriage of siblings can cause many medical and legal issues, but that is customs, morals, and medical. A and B chose this situation, aware of the taboo additude of society, computers and programs don't make judgement calls, people do. I do not think this is a good idea, but it is not mine to approve or disapprove. I sense you feel the same way, but ignoring and not pointing out the situation will essentialy hide the issue from all but the closest family members, who know already anyway. We can't fix anything after it happens, and rarely before. Rich in LA CA
