Kinships

• Kinships are words that explain the family relationships between two people.

• In genealogy it is necessary to manage a standardized vocabulary to explain relationships, thus we need to understand and learn about it.

Kinships

In addition, it should always be present that the Catholic Church regulates marriages between relatives until today in its canon 1091. This is an impediment. Investigating a marriage between cousins can mean a better understanding of the genealogy of that family. The church prevents relatives until the fourth degree of consanguinity from getting married unless they have a dispensation. For this, relatives who marry expose the causes that are almost always poverty of the bride, older age of the same, that there is already a pregnancy and/or that the relationship is already publicly known.
