How to Post Queries to the Kissing Cousins Mailing List

There is one stipulation I'd like to make on posts. If you are posting a non-same surname to the list
(for example: A/B; not A/A)

Please show how the two are related by Cousin (relative) marriage, show the second marriage, even if you have to "round robin" it to prove it.

If I am posting a query for a marriage of A/B and these two families have one marriage only; along with my questions I would write:

A/B (1- direct) [one marriage, direct lineage]
B/C (2- one direct)
C/D (2- one direct, other relationship)
D/A (1- direct, other relationships)

so that it comes back around to the marriage I am researching at that moment - that is, one of the names that I entered in my query (A).

[The term "other relationship(s)" means that family is also related to one or more of your other families through a parental/sibling/cousin marriage as well. Also, if you have direct lineage, please specify if possible]

I have not explained all the relationships of this family, I never even mentioned A/C because there was no marriage between A and C.

I also didn't mention my G, H, or J relations to those families because they weren't necessary to prove Cousin/Relationship of my A/B. I only explained the relationship of how A and B were related other than through their own marriage.

An example of a two family posting between two Fisher families removed one time by the Byrd family: Husband (Fisher) married Wife (Byrd) and they have a child (in this case a female) who married a Byrd. To show this, I'd write:

Byrd/Fisher - Fisher/Byrd (both direct, other relationships).

[Also, I would prefer you show Bride's name first if it's only a two name query]

An example of two sisters marrying two brothers would be: Cat/Dog - Cat/Dog

If you need help with this, please let me know.
