(6,690 posts)No I'm not talking "inbred" - as in her parents are related. I don't mean THAT. I see that look around eastern Kentucky too. People marry in the same basic region for so many generations that the gene pool tightens up. I've seen the same thing in parts of Ohio too. I supposed it happens in a lot of more rural places. Anyway, that's first thing I thought ...

(21,786 posts)endogamy is where everyone in a population is related to everyone else, usually multiple times over; inbreeding is where someone has multiple instances of cousin marriages in their ancestry. My grandfather was from in Louisville; his ancestors were largely Catholics who moved west to Kentucky from Maryland between 1785 and 1800. Those Catholic pioneers and their desdendants are highly endogamous (I am usually related to someone I share that ancestry with about 12 different ways, mostly through common ancestors in the 1600's-1700's) but not very inbred (because they're all Catholic, and you need a dispensation to marry a first or second cousin).

(9,451 posts)a nurse at her level LIVING n WORKING with the reality of Covid facing her daily speaks volumes about how nearly impossible it is going to be to defeat this epidemic. Soooooo many stupid people to overcome.

(3,917 posts)for normal development of her lower face. And unlike the more affluent, no one spent the money on orthodontia to expand her dental arch, or if she had braces, they were the bad old kind where they extract teeth in a crowded mouth and shrink the jaws, leaving a head that looks like a lightbulb. Her parents were probably popping out a kid every year.

(7,639 posts)I too had teeth extracted and the bad old kind of braces but thank the goddess, I look nothing like her for all that.
