Have you ever met a product of inbreeding?
My barber says he married his Mom's first cousin (does that make them second cousins?). In the movies, inbreds are depicted as either slow-witted or weird looking. All four of their kids are quite attractive but one was born deaf and two lost all their hearing before the age of 8. Only the oldest escaped the disability but his own son may have cerebral palsy. My barber blames all of this on inbreeding.

Met a lot of them, mostly in third world countries where people are not allowed to marry outside of the community. They have a real problem with it in the Middle East, as marriages are arranged there within groups and the kids suffer.
As well the Amish are having a real tough time with the same situation. Their kids are having more and more incidences of birth defects because of this. Joe A

Funny, I was just reading about studies where they had found that there was a correlaton between inbreeding (particularly among the Amish) and autism/Asperger's Syndrome. I'm certianly not inbred however.... lol

Ummmmmm....... I live in Southern Illinois............ Go 60 miles East , West , or South and you will hit Southeastern Indiana, Western Kentucky, and Southeast Missouri. What do you think?
And before you even think it, I have done my family tree back 150 years, and that tree forks every generation!

There was/is a town in New York called Davisville. It is a small town, but it is one big happy family. They all looked alike and did not look like they had all their marbles. No joke.
