My great grandmother and great grandfather were closely related but I was never able to get a straight answer as to how closely related. I guess mom didn't want to face the fact that her family tree didn't exactly fork too much. When you are from a remote island the pickings are slim when it comes to mates.
It wasn't until the navy base (now decommissioned) was built that the gene pool was diluted.
