On TikTok, Marcella Hill has revealed what happened the moment she learned that she was married to her third cousin.
She starts off by saying she’s “never publicly revealed” this information, which might lead some to ask, “Why to start now?”
However, this is the crap social media was made for. While contemplating baby names, Hill says she went on Family Search, while her husband did a separate search on his side of the family.
That’s when they realized they had grandparents that shared the same names.
A deeper dive revealed that her grandpa was first cousins with his grandma.
That’s when the phone calls started, and all was revealed.
Fortunately, most people in the comments were understanding how it can happen, and realized that they’re “distant enough.”
Still, others were weirded out.
