Let me put a little humor on this - I once handed some family group sheets to a cousin who knew little of our family (and the many cousin marriages). She was trying to look and after a while I saw her screwing up her face on one particular sheet. She had found one man who had married a cousin with the same name as his sister. Not only that, but the cousin and sister had been born in the same year. It took awhile to explain that "No, he did not marry his sister."
I now include cousin references in my marriage material and I include it in the notes to the standard marriage. Jackie On 9/18/2011 3:01 PM, Jerry wrote: > Thanks Debra.
