Incest? There’s an app for that!

Who’s going to hack the site and redirect all searches to their own photo, captioned “Kinship too close; Alternative Suggestion:”?

I once was approached by an attractive woman, and we chatted for a bit as if she somehow knew me. Very friendly.

I simply assumed she wanted me.

Later on at a Thanksgiving party with a part of the family I had not seen for many years, I realized she was actually my second cousin.

Too bad the Naval Air Station at Keflavik is gone, it would of been safe to assume Americans with names like Willie Jefferson Brown, Sanchez, Garcetti or Chang were not even vaguely related. Oh well, there is always their cousin twice removed on their mother’s side.

So did the Navajo Nation. Most of Utah, parts of SW Nevada and the entire island of Samoa. Snark, snark and off to bed I go to rest my genetics. Nite, nite all

“Somebody in West Virginia just slapped his forehead...”

From our Strange but True Department: West Virginia doesn't allow first-cousin marriages.

I think I read that Iceland doesn’t have Family last names just Whatever-son if it is a boy and something else if it was a girl. If that is correct it would add to the difficulty

There’s two solutions to this. One is to be like the British Royal Family. Another is to learn 400 words of Icelandic, fly out to Iceland and celebrate diversity in a good way.

Wow! You learn something every day!

I didn’t know there is good incest, and I’m from Missippy! I need to ask around about that.

*face palm*

OT, but I flew over Greenland and Iceland a few years ago. Those ice bergs must be huge! They were very prominent at 40,000 feet.

If you have ancestors who were in America before about 1670, the chances that you are related are very high.

The reason is because the number of potential ancestors doubles as you trace back every generation whereas the pool of available ancestors shrinks rather dramatically.

After 1670, all bets are off because it was about that time that the colonies became a convenient dumping ground for all sorts of people.

Some were petty thieves and debtors, sort of like the first Australian colonists, selected by the best judges in Britain. Most were just impoverished people.

It was common for a ship to show up off the coast of Ireland or Scotland. Officials would step off dockside and read the names of a list of families who were to report for transportation to America. Generally, they had a day to two to gather with their meager belongings, board the ship and leave. There was little chance of appeal as most of the names had been cleared with the local authorities in advance. Returning from transportation was a hanging offense.

What a brilliant idea!

The town I reside in could use a good online incest avoidance search engine. Everyone is related one way or another, almost does a full circle. It’s too disgusting. I didn’t find this out till I started researching the history of my house. LOL. I found out this town’s dirty little secret.

I’m very exited about moving out of here.

I’m sure there will be many willing to introduce new genetic material into the Icelandic genetic pool....all for the good Iceland, of course.

Thanks, Slings.

Laz -- it appears that your services are urgently needed.

Cheers!
