kenL is right about the somerset levels, there is one surname, all clustered around a few small villages, every one of them is either a farmer of agricultural engineer. does anyone remember the meet the ancestors where they matched an iron age skull reconstruction to a guy in the village. he shared dna & even looked the same.

When my sister and her husband registered their eldest for a school in Market Weighton (Yorkshire, I think), they were asked if they were blood relations.

 

When they laughed, they were then told that they'd be surprised how many people answer 'yes' to that question there!!!!

No you are wrong Ken. The risks are increased, they are not GREATLY increased. About 20% of the worlds population are the offspring of first cousins.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Oh dear what am I to do!!!!!!!!!!!! As a retired head teacher and current university tutor and the offspring of two first cousins................!!!!!!! :( I don't appear to have done so badly have I? <_<

 

Mind you I suppose I could be classed as having a defective gene - I married Steve :doh:

 

Being serious surely there is a great difference between a one off marriage between two first cousins and the continual practice within a very small community where I would think the risk would increase over time.

It's dangerous IMO to make sweeping general statements which can cause upset or are likely to be misinterpreted.

It's like a lot of other things that folk "just know" or are "just common sense", Peggy. They often turn out to be just a load of old tosh.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Here is a great, one page, non-technical summary of the whole "cousin marriage' thing.

Typical of another ignorant labour politician. Ever since we've improved the A11 and the A47 and pulled the fences down health has been more of a problem.

 

"The comments angered Dr Ketan Dhatariya, a diabetologist at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital"

 

Can't agree with the comments about another ignorant Labour politician, seems more like a political slight aimed at the individual than anything else as Ian Gibson is a qualified doctor who went on to specialise in scientific medical research.

 

If the A11 and A47 was to be blocked at both ends would peoples health improve?

No - due to all the junction off the A11 and A47 (!)
