Hello everyone: Please forgive my intrusion. I only seek to ask a question. I know that many of you have found family members inter-married several times over, especially in the 1700's and early 1800's. I wonder if I could get your help and/or your opinion...how likely do you feel it would be to find that 2 of your 6th great-grandfathers were brothers? I have received documentation and other information from various family members, and records, and I have checked and re-checked. I thought I had already come across just about every inter-family type of connection. Has anyone encountered this situation? Thank you for your time and assistance. Fran

I have never ran across this before, but if I am thinking straight this would make them first cousins, I think this most likely did happened in some situations.
