Taken from LFHHS yahoo forum Thanks to the guild of One Name Studies who posted this link on Facebook! The past, present, future of your family tree are more fascinating than you realise!!! http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/01/your-fami ... uture.html |

Fascinating stuff ! I've been doing my family history for about 50 years (I started very young...). I know all my 16 gt-gt-grandparents, and 30 of 32 gt-gt-gt-grandparents, and many further back. However in my direct tree I have no known example of a marriage between relatives. One or two siblings though are known to have married a cousin or second cousin. As the article suggests, it will have been very different say 500 years ago or more, with communities small and largely immobile. Rex |

That's just mind-numbing. It's not we're not capable of doing those numbers for ourselves, it's just that people like me need someone else to actually point out the implications... |
