Murdaugh: Death in the Family (2025)
AmieWarren 2 points 6 days ago.

My mother’s family was from a coastal island, and I think I’m related to half of the “real” Charlestonians. So many, I don’t even know most of them. When I started doing my genealogy, I found out that one specific family line ran through almost every family in that area. Hell, we’re probably cousins, too! We genealogists call the lowcountry “cousins by the dozens.” So much inbreeding! There are some batshit crazy rich people down there, and a lot of men with Peter Pan complexes. It’s an interesting place — Almost 400 years of history with no progress.

Charleston is my hometown, so hey cuz. My late maternal grandma grew up pretty poor in Depression-era downtown Charleston (real name: Maybelle, nickname: Dolly). She had the OG Charleston accent and lived downtown her whole life. As far as I know (and I have done our genealogy down both sides through to the mid-1700s) we haven’t got inbreeding in our family, but I know cousins marrying cousins is the norm in the South. Ughh.
