re: Finding a common ancestor on both sides when doing ancestry

All blue eyed people can trace all the way back to one person who had a genetic mutation occur with their eyes.

Every marriage will find a common ancestor if you go back far enough. I wouldn’t give it a second thought. The issue in many places is that some people don’t have a family tree, it’s basically a family pole.

When the geneology book of Pierre Baillio famiy came out in the 60’s my father was 5th or 6th gen descendant(don’t remember exactly).
My mother was 1 generation further down the line.
3 of my classmates were also in the book so they were distant cousins.
The descendant on my father side was in Rapides parish,the one on my mother’s side was in Crowley..
There were 6,000 in the book when it came out (my father,mother,myself and 2 sisters were in it twice).
By now,65 years later the descendants of Pierre Bailio has to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Go back just a couple of hundred years when it was very unlikely to move great distances away from home, and villages were more common than big cities, it isn't so odd.
My English grandparents (born 1890s) were technically second cousins I believe. My grandmother's grandmother (born 1820s) and my grandfather's grandfather (born 1830s) were brother and sister, giving my grandparents one set of common great grandparents.
My grandfather grew up in Durham, my grandmother in London. They met at the wedding of my grandfather's sister.

We have to have some interbreeding for the first 50yrs. I rather not know.
It may have been the first 50 years.
We’ve seen your posts. The evidence of something very similar is probably there over the most recent 50 too.

This may sound wild but I believe other humans existed than just Adam and Eve because Cain feared people would kill him.

We are all related if you go back far enough.
There was a lot of inbreeding centuries ago. I mean when people lived in small rural villages with a few dozen people their entire life what do you think happened? Generations of people stayed in the same area before modern travel, odds are most at minimum married 2nd cousins

It’s more of an emotional reaction. Genetically it’s not a big deal when it’s that far apart.
Children of first cousins have a small but marked bump in genetic abnormalities. Children of second cousins have little to no increase in genetic abnormalities. Anything beyond that comes out in the wash.

My mom passed away about 15 years ago. My dad connected with his old high school friend whose husband passed away also.
They dated for a minute and ended up getting married. Turns out they are 3rd cousins. He’s the happiest I’ve ever seen him. He’s 78.

Charlemagne (c. 742–814) was the son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, and the grandson of Charles Martel. Statistical models in genealogy show that nearly everyone with European ancestry is a direct descendant of Charlemagne.

At least you have a family.

But after viewing the family tree blown up... I don't really see how they could have kept track of it. Separated by at least 120 miles and 5 generations, neither had a last name that had been linked again in 5 generations.

Well, my family background is mostly Cajun and my mom spent years doing genealogy research on our family.
Turned out that several generations back a Boudreaux married an Hebert and several generations later another Boudreaux married another Hebert so that made my parents distant cousins.
It also made myself my own cousin, my brother his own cousin, my mom her own cousin and my dad his own cousin and all of us each other's cousins, though very distantly removed.
Thank God for my Irish and Scottish ancestry added in the mix, lol. Keeps my family tree from looking like a pole, lol.

Second cousins only share 3% DNA. That’s not high at all.
Think about your first cousins for a second. Would you want your kid to date one of their kids?
