My late Wife was an OB-Gyn Nurse and we raised 7 children...3 girls...so, I know that it is possible, and did happen, even today in some areas, but if you check, you will find that most women married in their late teens and early twenties. They were considered spinsters by their late twenties and early thirties...but few married at 11-13... And you might be right, incest may be the culprit for babies raising babies... >From: "Holden Clan" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [GA-Roots] How to calulate ages? >Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 18:26:57 -0500 > > > >12 when impregnated; 13 years 8 months at birth... > > > > > Although possible, I would question these dates... > >It's more than possible.
