This is the magic of 23and Me, the genetic testing service that informs its customers as to both their ancestry and health risks (although the latter results are currently suspended).23and Me also takes advantage of its massive stores of genetic code to connect users who are likely related.I regularly receive invitations to share profiles with other members, including an adopted woman who told me that I — really, my thumbnail picture on the site — was the first person in her family she’d ever seen, which made me cry, because, come on.Most of the distant cousins I’ve encountered online also happen to be senior citizens.A "distant cousin," also known as a collateral cousin, is a family member with whom you share a common ancestor, often many generations back.Close cousins are, by contrast, cousins one is likely to be acquainted with, descendant's of one's own grandparents, for example, the children of your aunts and uncles.Goodbye world, i'll stay no longer with you, Now i get it,the problem here is that no one as had the experience of love intimidation,well i hope and pray all goes well for everybody because that is the reason we ask questions and expect real answers,if we get good answers we'll know how to make life worth living.

If the parents of your cousin are sensible enough, they should have reservations about letting their son or daughter date in this way - especially if it was somebody known to be a relative.

There is the potential that this could also lead to all kinds of genetic problems should you decide to have children - not to mention possibly being illegal in some US states.
