When you think about it there were only a limited amount of families in a village so the chances of marrying someone already related in some way was quite high.

I've lost count of the number of times my family tree programme on the computer has almost blown a fuse with complicated relationships involving duplicate entries for the same perwson.  :o

Some places that were very isolated must have had several instances of "inbreeding". The results? Well, a few oddballs dotted about perhaps!!!  ;)

I have so many links between four families, on one branch of my tree, who all lived in the same village that I have drawn a net diagram to represent them visually.

I  have found out that my great great grandparents were first cousins.  So not sure how to fill out the pedigree chart now.  Makes things interesting.

I don't think it has to be geographical - the middle and upper classes were often quite keen on marrying inside the family as well - I guess because they were all in the same social circle and also because they then kept any money in the family. My husband's family have far too many first cousins marrying for their own good!  :o
