First Cousins
Wanted to record this before I forget. There was a discussion in my genealogy class about first cousins and I finally went back and counted my own. Seems I had 56, i.e. Robert Norris had 59 grandchildren that I know of. Been at this so long that I no longer think in terms of raw statistics but Robert's 27 (known) kids only had 59 children. And amazing how many of those children were childless. This entire line is being perpetuated by only a few very prolific families. I knew that somewhere in the deep recesses of what's left of my brain but it's coming into my consciousness again as a result of this discussion. Hmmmm.
