  Eshelman and Schaffer have done work with incest prohibitions where
incest was determined by a similarity measure.  I've done work with
incest defined by family tree.  Eshelman and Schaffer's work is in the
Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Genetic
Algorithms.  Mine is in the Sixth.  You can down load a copy from my
home page:  http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~rcc6p/.

  I'd be interested to know the results of your work.

  Good luck.
