Comment on Gandalf failed to consider incest, half my ancestors are related baby
jqubed@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI’ve read that in Iceland basically everyone is related if you go back far enough and people often look up what degree of cousin they are so they can see if it meets a level they’re comfortable with or feel like they’re too closely related to risk producing offspring.

I heard some of that was a bit of humor that didn’t quite translate, but I’m sure it’s at least in the back of your mind, and you might want to consider whether being 3rd cousins, double-4th cousins, and quntiple 6th cousins starts to add up, LOL.
I found out my stuff through ancestry to track down my biological relatives when my daughter was young, and I still have people on there where the percentage makes zero sense based on the documentation I can find, unless there’s a bunch of stuff farther back piling on the centimorgans.
