On April 30, N. Ried asked about marriage between first cousins

My maternal grandparents were first cousins; their mothers were sisters. They were married in the US shortly after my grandfather sent enough money for my grandmother to come. I wondered why they didn't marry in Russia, but the probable explanation is that my grandfather had to leave Russia in a hurry to avoid serving in the Russo-Japanese war. I asked a rabbi whether first cousin marriage was ok under Jewish law. She said it is ok. Then recently I read a biography of Zeev Jabotinsky. It said his parents could not marry in Russia because it was illegal in Czarist Russia. If cousins in Odessa did marry perhaps the rabbi had no problems with it, and the civil authorities were not informed. Interestingly, according to Wikipedia, first cousin marriage is illegal in some states in the US. My grandparents were married in Philadelphia and first cousin marriage is illegal in Pennsylvania. In Indiana where I grew up and my grandparents lived first cousin marriages are void. Maybe the laws in the early 20th century were different or probably when they arrived in the US around 1905 they never asked.

Wondering if anyone has done dna comparisons between double-cousin
relatives. For instance, supposing I have a third cousin whose parents are first cousins? How much more gene sharing is there between me and my third cousin than there would be otherwise? Can I just double the amount of expected gene-sharing since he is my third cousin in two ways? This is not just an academic question since the situation can and does come up with certain frequency in my research. I've posted this to the DNA board as well. Thanks in advance.... Adam

I tried, but to no avail. My paternal grandmother's sister married their first cousin and had the same last name,

same side of the family. The three children >from that union have since died, but I tried to get the grandchildren of that union, at least one is male, to take a dna test to get a purer results of background. But he declined. On Thu 03/05/18 12:28 PM , "Adam Cherson adam.cherson@gmail.com" ukraine@lyris.jewishgen.org sent:
