Back in 1600-1800's especially marrying cousins was quite common even by various religions including Catholic religion. The reason is people did not travel very much nor did they have access to people outside of family. It was either marry cousins or not marry at all. Really common practice. Also people married into the two or 3 families that lived in a particular area. Everyone became a cousin very quickly. My grandfather Goyette married my grandmother Hinks. His two sisters (Goyette) married her two brothers (Hinks). Their children all became cousins & some of them married into each others family.

You can check the "Latest Change Box" for all info that has been entered on them and contact the submitter if you want. Sometimes they will respond, sometimes no. If you have documentation of correct info feel free to change the info and explain why (like location, etc.)  If you are near a Family History Center they can help you learn how to detach them as adopted, etc.  Anyone can change info. I find it helpful if you check the Watch Box under the person's name and if anyone changes info you will be Sent an email. <div>Another section to check is the Research Help Box. If person is in U.S. it will match possible records for that person, and you can verify and if correct attach the info as a documented source. Hope this info is helpful.

My surprise was the family search site having the wrong information! Not to happy about it being recorded wrong & how they came to record them as adopted. I have their birth records. It is legal in Maine for 1st cousins to marry but not Vermont. Thanks for your 2 cents worth :>) Linda In a message dated 8/13/2018 9:57:34 AM Eastern Standard Time, <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> writes: Linda, I worked with a woman who married her first cousin. Their fathers were brothers. They (Paul & Pauline) were married in Massachusetts in the early 1960's so I'm guessing it is allowed. Seems icky though. He was born and raised in Canada and she was born and raised in Massachusetts. They are still together today, had two son's and now five grandchildren. Also in my research one of my great grandfathers married (his 3rd wife) his neice, (his brother's daughter) and they had one daughter. I'm guessing it has been going on for centuries.

My aunt was 16 at the time of the marriage & did not have her 1st child until 3 years after the marriage. Unfortunately the records for the Catholic church in Irasburg, Vermont, where they married are no where to be found. Thanks for the reply.

You'd have to look at the record of their marriage in the church register where they were married.

While adding the obit & verifying my data (which was all obtained from family members) I discovered something that was upsetting to me when I was using family search. My great aunt & her husband where 1st cousins, (their mothers where sisters) on the Family Search site they have both my aunt & her husband listed as ADOPTED. Not true. I did always wonder how they married & continued life as Catholics & are buried in a Catholic cemetery here in Vermont. Has anyone ever seen this before? Is this someway of covering up a 1st cousin marriage?
