Two of my aunts married their first cousins. They had to get a dispensation from the pope to do so.

It was explained to me as being a result of not really having a social life like Americans had eventually but seeing only family really.

I never saw any unpleasant results. One couple had no children and one couple had three.

Inbreeding usually take time to show up, a few generations, as pro-lifers will tell anyone who wants to abort a baby because it was conceived in incest.

Consanguineous!

"common in the closed and tribal communities"

Story goes that the Lewis & Clark expedition came across a Indian tribe that had inbreedr1ing problems.

The tribe leaders looked upon and asked that the lone black man in the expedition to breed with all their women.

He got permission from Lewis and Clark got down to business with the squaws.

Check out his geneology at his Wikipedia page - go back seven generations and instead of 128 ancestors like most folks, he has TWO!
