As to the 2e Consanguinite, it means that they were related and I think
that it means based on the surname that the mothers were cousins and I
believe first cousins though Father Owen might be better at this,
Consanguity always confuses me.



François Gravel and Marie Charpentier are first cousins. Their mothers are
sisters.

Degrees of Consanguinity:

1st - siblings
2nd - 1st cousins
3rd - 2nd cousins
etc.
