Jonathan Jacobs #551828 I do know that it does happen back 100 years plus. But I would not call it common. In one of my families, that the two villages were less then a mile apart and intermarriage between the two towns happened and I am sure that family lines got mixed. But for modern times, look at the birth certificate for Kentucky(within the last 50 years), not kidding, it asks you if the father and mother are related to each other and how. Ewwwwwww toggle quoted message Show quoted text How common would it be for relatives to marry? I know that marriage between first cousins may be prohibited by many states, but I've heard of first cousin marriages and it is not necessarily prohibited in Judaism. In general, what is the situation when cousins (not necessarily first) marry? -- Jonathan Jacobs
