also, my family has a "family" tree, from both sides of my mother and father, that states the name and where they were born, from generation to generation. I have the names from at least 3-4 generations of "greats", which include aunt's and uncles from those generation and I'm still working through "Ancestry.com" to continue to locate as much information on my history as I can, so to answer your question respectfully, yes, I can say I have that information and have a tree on Ancestry .com. It's facinating to research and find information of your history.

My deceased mother's sister Aunt Carmen's daugher Awilda (first cousin), has a daughter Amy in her early 30's (second cousing) who has a 5 yr. daugher Melony, which makes her my third cousin. It exit and I quite a few generations of 3 cousins.

my family is also VERY tight. i knew my grandparents family. (my fathers mother had one sister who had 2 children. both of those children have passed i still talk to those cousins. my mothers mother had 3 brothers and a sister. all of her brothers passed in a mining accident when they were ages 16-20. her sister passed a few years back. said sister had 2 children. one of those children is childless and the other has a son and daughter. and amazingly both of my grandfathers were only children.) we're REALLY tight. lol. where as my husbands family is the complete opposite. they actually think we're weird because of how close we all are. i talk to my dad at least 3-4 times a week and i talk to my mom 3-4 times a day. (she's a very lonely woman.) i know all of my cousins and am actually pretty friends with most of them.

so yeah i think marrying or sleeping with any sort of family whether they're 1st cousins or 20th cousins is just...blah. lol like my mom always told my one cousin, "you don't go to family reunions looking to hookup or find a boyfriend."

I know nothing of the Hindu ways. I would check to see if it is legal and if it is, go for it. This is something you would have to check out in your own culture to find out. Sorry.

This is maybe a tiny bit off topic,  but for those who say they know their third cousins,  that means you have at least one great great grandparent in common.  Can anyone on this board actually say they know all the descendants of their all their great great grandparents?   Every one has 16 great great grandparents.    So to know all your third cousins,  you'd have to know all the descendants of your great great grandparents.  Can anyone say that?  

To know all your second cousins,  you also must know all the cousins of your parents.  Does anyone on this board know all of the cousins of both your parents?

What I'm saying here is second and third cousins are VERY far removed from the individual.

I know my second and third cousins, they are family and off limits within the the entire family unit. It's just taboo, yet  my niece's aunt on her father's side is married to a second cousin and have a beautiful daugher that looks just like her.

In this case, he is of hindu religioun and although not stated I'm assuming lives in india, where marriage are arrange and I the family decides or has a huge say if it is acceptable or not.
