Buffy @ 19/11/2019 20:27 I mean in Kentucky you probably only have to go back a couple of generations. I'm KIDDING Kentucky! Are you though?

Here in Arkansas, when the topic of "relative dating techniques" comes up in my geology classes, I have to be very careful to explain that I mean ways to relatively age date different rock layers, not tips and tricks on asking your cousin to prom.

So now I have an excuse for being this retarded. Isn't that the case throughout a lot of Iceland? I'm not making a joke I'm actually curious, I thought I heard that Pretty sure it's always been taboo if not illegal, we've always been overly interested in genealogy which helps avoids that. The guy in this case fled country after knocking up two of his sisters (probably raped them tbh) Also, my children's gr grandmother was 100% Icelandic and I have a lot of info going way back... don't know if any of the parents were siblings, though. A lot of sons & dottirs. If you know her name I can probably tell you how related I am to your kids.

I can go back pretty far but I'll PM her name to you.

No Arkie needs tips on that. It's a cultural milestone.

We are no matter what origin theory you prescribe to. [Unless you believe we were populated by numerous other planets, that is.]

That's both really amazing and really yuck, depending on the person.

Looks right to me

My kids/Merc related confirmed lol.

Iceland's population is like 350,000 people.

There couldn't have been that many people back when it was first colonized.

It was like 50.000 +- 20.000 when settlement stopped around 930

I thought your dad just told you the story.

It's ok, I'm sure I'll forget it by the time she remembers to call me.
