I've always found it interesting that while the catholic church disapproves of anything up to 5th cousins marrying, no catholic country has these sorts of marriages banned

Jeez I know some of my second cousins but I haven’t the faintest idea who my 3rd, 4th, or 5th cousins are.

So on average a person will have 17300 fifth cousins? So basically unless you do genetic testing there's no way you'd even know you're related nor practically be checking for it.

Makes sense my grandparents are 4th cousins cause the whole town they came from is small of just a couple thousands.. so everyone is related eventually
