I look forward to your posts about the area my mother was born in.<br />thanks, <br />MilMattie 3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606730654482296496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124937133380979208.post-4269494887018043432012-04-18T14:39:22.069-04:002012-04-18T14:39:22.069-04:00Lawd, I hope not, then we would have a collapse in...Lawd, I hope not, then we would have a collapse in DNA. LOL! Anyway, these pictures are paintings, I believe, and don't show their true physical features. Because from what Grandma told me, the Ealys (her father and his siblings) were rather dark-skinned and the Kennedys (her mother and her siblings) could have passed for white if they wanted to. In fact, I was told that my great-grandfather Albert looked like a white man, and he used to "pass" when he rode the train to Louisiana to visit his sister so that he could sit in the front. I believe that's why three of the Kennedys married three of the Ealys to "darken" up the generations.Melvin Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804123091302875176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124937133380979208.post-58029958791896304972012-04-18T13:27:56.544-04:002012-04-18T13:27:56.544-04:00Looking at their noses and brow bones,facial shape...Looking at their noses and brow bones,facial shape (each couples) I'd venture a guess that there might have been an unknown relationship between them, too.

I am going to share this post with one of my friends (who is NOT into genealogy), who I tease all the time because her mother and aunt married brothers, and then, to make it worse, two of her cousins married two of her husband's cousins! I playfully tease her about her family being "incestuous", even though I know they're not. She should get a kick out of reading this post. :)<br /><br />RenateRenate Yarborough Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289031155721526652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124937133380979208.post-38873346901921238192012-04-16T08:21:12.375-04:002012-04-16T08:21:12.375-04:00I have some cousins who's children are double ...I have some cousins who's children are double cousins, but not in the same way you are.
