[or-roots] double cousins

[Paul Christian]

My family has this double cousin feature too.  It was common for the number of inhabitants were low.  Daniel R Christian and George W Christian married Catherine and Ellen Etynre, forming a union that produced offspring that would be like brothers and sisters.  Face it today the same problems are confronting young people deciding their mates.  A shortage of qualified people you could spend the rest of your life with.  Divorce rates prove this point.

Daniel's kids grew up in Eugene and George's in Milam Co Texas, so the likely hood of inbreeding was low.   Not surprised this happens, just today with 2.1 kids per family it is rarer.  Victorian sex had it's oddities too, if you can call it that.  It does cause confusion on DNA tests, would it not?
