Was it on incestuous relationships, or first cousins, or what, Ariala?

That's alright, I-R,
I personally see nothing wrong with it, but, as the saying goes, "when in Rome..." The closest my family has gotten to the first cousin marrying stage was two generations back when second cousins married. But I haven't gone back much further than that (three to four generations). I am sure there are a few somewhere back there. Oh, and as far as I know, no cross-dressers. But I had a gay second cousin.

So true, Ariala,
feeding off the old superstitions and ridiculous traditions have become standard Springer fare.

I do a bit of genealogy every now and then, and boy did my eyes get opened
a time or two. I found on my mother's side that there was a marriage between first cousins back in the early twenties. The family wasn't too excited about it either. But true love was stronger than family ridicule, so they got married and had a child. The child was normal in all respects. Unfortunately wedded bliss came to end, when the woman of the house, caught the man of the house, wearing her clothes around the house. That created an even bigger scandal than first cousins being married. In those days cross dressing , was grounds for divorce.The poor guy couldn't decide between Prima Don (his name) or Primo Donna. (her name) The son went on to become a successful sales merchant in downtown Atlanta.
