in elementary school, we were taught that teddy and franklin WERE NOT RELATED.
while not real close, they do share the same family tree.
but boy, i am shocked to find that eleanor and franklin were cousins !!
but it looks the family tree was split for many generations before the marriage.
so i am guessing that the blood wasnt close enough to be an issue ?
from the family tree below, i think teddy is an uncle to eleanor, so that is very close.
but not until franklin and eleanor marry, is the tree rejoined.
if i am reading it correctly.
