Second or third cousins getting married is legal in most places. How does that thing work with descendants? I mean, it's kinda problematic when a great-great-grandparent gets together with one of their -great-great-grandchild, but what about immortals? Is there a line or boundary there or do they have to keep their whole family tree in mind when they start dating?
