So what will prevent brother/sisters/fathers/daughters etc from having childern? Considering less that 22% of people ever leave thier hometowns, this could be a significant issue in the next few years.

Blood tests before marriage could become popular again, but not for STD's - for family trees. I know my oldest brother is adopted and he insisted for this very reason.

Where did that statistic come from?

Not leaving your home town does not make accidental incest more likely. It actually makes it less likely, because you know your own town, (if its small).

Most people know who their relatives are, but not these "mis-fatherd" children.
