Is This A Brown Trout?

What's a "double cousin"?

Or do I want to know???

Well here is the best way I can explain it. Some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Bill's dad, Sam, married Amy Fuller. Amy has a brother named Robert. Robert marries Sarah, who is Sam's sister. Both couples have one son, Craig and Bill. That would make them double cousins and each having the same set of grandparents, who names I do not recall. All I can remember about the grandparents is, one set of the grandparents lived on the south side of Evening Shade, Mo., the other lived on the north side, and they were next door neighbors.

That's pretty cool... never heard of double cousins.

Here is a fun one for you Phil.

A guy is married to his 2nd cousin by marriage.... For example; Say my Uncle by blood marrys his second cousin by marriage still his second cousin that makes my Aunt my 3rd cousin and still my aunt. It is more common than people want to beleive. It was very common at one time and in certain areas still happens even unknowingly. I know a guy that married his third cousin they didnt know each other didnt even know they were cousins until someone in the family did the geneology and discovered it. Boths roots came from Tennessee but they were living in Chicago when they met and married.

Reminds me of the old Lonzo & Oscar classic- "I'm my own Grandpa!"
