In my family tree , we have two sisters married
to two brothers.  How common is that? .  They live in the
Sacramento area.

Names



Here's a good one from my family tree--

 

My grandfather's sister, Rafaela, married my grandmother's
brother.  Thirteen years later my grandparents get married.  So,
my dad has a set of first cousins whom I call "double-first cousins," since
they're his cousins through both their mom's and dad's
sides.
