    1. [KISSINGCOUSINS-L] not exactly cousins
    2. Debi
    3. There are several instances of cousins marrying cousins in my family tree but I thought this was interesting, even tho they were not cousins. Let me see if I can explain this without confusing everyone. I have tried to explain it to my mother and my sister and they are still confused *L*!! Dread Pelfrey is my mother's father's mother's father. (Ada Deal/Arthur Deal/ Becca Pelfrey Deal/Dread Pelfrey). He first married Elizabeth Lovelady. To that marriage was born Rebecca Elizabeth Pelfrey. Rebecca Elizabeth Pelfrey married Martian Juan Deal (The had James Arthur Deal, my mom's father). After the death of his first wife, Dread married Elmira Deal, who just happens to be Juan Deal's sister (she had been married to Bill McVay before her marriage to Dread). So that makes Elmira Deal Pelfrey, Juan Deal's sister AND his mother in law (I think....it is sooo confusing! *L*). And I have no idea what that makes any of the rest of us! All this cousin removed business is too confusing for me to attempt. Not quite "I'm My Own Grandpa" but close! *L* Debi
