Just read an article today about how common it once was to marry 1st cousins. Something about back when traveling far before the RR, was uncommon so not much around to select from. Gather it is still legal to hitch up with 1st cousins in a bunch of states. I have a few 1st cousins who were hot looking; but the ick factor was always too looming to keep the thought before needing to think about sports or cars..
A school chum of my oldest son married his first cousin a couple years ago. Both sets of parents were less than pleased to say the least. My son and all his friends who know this kid all agree on the ick factor and don’t have anything to do with him any longer.
