Hello cousins [however distant!
Ah yes, I have a few cousins who married [ two of them in direct line]
Hardly surprising at a time when everybody was born,married and died within the same environs. A trip to the next village was an 'adventure'
I have one, not directly linked thank goodness who married his neice [illegal?]
Most of my Staffordshire ancestors up to the middle of the 19th century never moved more than 25 miles over a period of 350 years
Like you say, we go further back and virtually everyone alive at a certain time was 'an ancestor' phew.
Anyhow any rich cousins we are in need of donations to 'charity', look no further!
