Yeah, my culture goes back to Harlan, (i.e., "Bloody Harlan") KY. Everyone married young, so great-great granrandparents, and great-great aunts and uncles were plentiful and close-by. Very common to play with fourth cousins. I know fourth is not seriously close, but we always had plenty of jokes to throw out to people. Still like to kid about it. You know, "So do you think our kids might have had three feet?" Fun.On the one hand, 4th cousins aren't a big deal, genetically speaking. On the other hand, that sounds like some serious country culture to actually know that someone is a cousin four times removed!?!

I just realized that socializing with (and occasionally marrying) your fourth cousins (not to mention knowing who they are) is very 'country', it's also very 'blue blood'.dipsi wrote:tomdarch wrote:Yeah, my culture goes back to Harlan, (i.e., "Bloody Harlan") KY.
