re: Married to Your Cousin? Are You Breaking the Law? #5 Will Blow Your Mind!!!!

Edgar Allan Poe, HG Wells, Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin … all married their first cousins.
Albert Einstein was a special one too. His wife was his first cousin on his mother’s side and (I think) his third cousin on his father’s side. She was actually born an Einstein and her “maiden name” when she married Albert was the last name she got from her first marriage.

States that allow first-cousin marriages
Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Vermont.
That explains a lot!
Ironically some of the most leftist states in the country

There were 2 sets of first cousins in my wife's family that married back in the 1800's. Which explains a lot of lingering questions!
However, back in the day, families living remotely in the country didn't have a whole lot to choose from.

I mean, I know we all laugh about it but scientifically there is negligible risk from cousin marriage and it was the norm in most of the world for most of human existence.
Everyone was related somehow
People misunderstand the pitfalls of reproduction with close relatives and think that it causes certain abnormalities within the genome. The pitfall is that genetic anomalies, specifically those that require the genetic defect or trigger in the genes from the parents, have an increased likelihood of occurring.
It's the same reason that specific breeds of animals, like certain breeds of dogs or horses that have been selectively bred for generations, tend to have a higher percentage of certain problems specific to that breed. Hence the term hybrid vigor which refers to the much smaller percentage of 'mutts' that have issues common to many tightly controlled breeds.
Still, there is something creepy about it

Yes, I know of two first cousins that got married back home in Harlan County. They grew up telling everybody they were first cousins at least. The boy was my hunting buddy growing up. The girl's mama didn't raise her and they had different last names. The girls Mamaw raised her. I think that's the technicality they justified it with, pardon the pun.
They're both Holiness Pentecostals (snake handling church), I'm guessing their sect allows it because they're both active in church and have been married for years.

Well, shite...I didn't realize your parent's first cousin is also your first cousin, once removed. That makes sense.
When I was a kid, I always thought it went by sibling order. For instance, my dad was the oldest in his family, so his kids were the "First Cousins" to the rest of my cousins, my uncle was next so his kids were "second cousins" to us, so on and so forth. My grandma had 10 kids so when I'd tell someone "Oh, that's my 10th cousins(my youngest aunt's kids), people would look at me like I was stupid.

great great grandmother in common
Went to a birthday/reunion a few years ago. Three of my cousins are probably 'third cousins'who I probably hadn't seen since I was 6.We have the same great,great grandfather. If we were all 'single again' I would happily have a "relationship" with them.

I honestly learned all of that around the age of 30. I had thought of it incorrectly for a long time.

I mean, you could roundabout say that long term consanguinity in the royal lines of Europe led to the rise of the Soviet Union

Well, I guess that is a specific pitfall I did not take into account.

My dad has 42 first cousins just on his dad's side of the family. I think there's maybe 10 on his mom's side.

I thought the context was self explanatory
It just means the condition of being blood related (and the degrees therein)
