Would anyone know whare to find the background
consanguinity rate for the whole population in
recent times, without obtaining learned papers?

myths...
Would that be Roman Catholic marriages in Spain, or the entire
population?

I'll leave you to interpret that one, sources

and


DI Owens...
This link may or may not help

Or even for North America .
I can find rates for Spain and a few other countries ,
or specific communities with high proportions
of cousin marriages,
but not the general UK or USA populations.

Don Moody...
Would anyone know why you have to formulate meaningless and unanswerable
questions?

For a start, what do you mean by 'cousin'. The word is culturally dependent.
If you don't know what 'cousin' means in all the cultures in a country you
cannot even begin to compute the proportion of 'cousin marriages'.

Gordon Johnson...
** e.g. second cousin, third cousin... how many people even KNOW that
have such a relationship? and who would be recording it?
