Gets muddy after that. Part of the reason that so many birth defects were in Royal families, was that consistently, cousins married cousins. In the Egyptian Royalty, not only cousins married, but siblings. Most often, it was to keep wealth and particularly land, in the family. In our own Puritan and Pilgrim days, cousins married cousins, because there was no one else to marry. Someday, with DNA, we'll all be able to see where the defects started, and hopefully, cures for those defects will be found.
