Hi Emanuel, Intermarriage means when cousins marry cousins, I used to Hear the Older people saying that it is better that their children intermarriage , than marry some one that they don't know any thing about as if they have any problems in the marriage the family sort it out, I was born in St Vincent in The Caribbean, and I have allot of cousins marry cousins, So that is the meaning so far of what I have been told any way, [ but we used to say keeping it in the family ] [ SMILE ] Rita Murphy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emanuel, Yvonne E CIV USA AMC" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 4:10 PM Subject: [Carib] FW: Re: Belfon Research > Group, > > My Cuzin' Shannon (we found each other while doing research)who has > become a tenacious researcher since getting the family tree bug aroused, > sent this email to me.
