I believe that the closet family member you can marry would be a 2nd cousin... so not anyone closer then that.
Im not sure about step brothers/sisters etc... but speaking about biological family members I believe that you can legally marry a 2nd cousin and no one closer.
Good luck on your assignment...
A research tip... go to the county clerk where you would normally apply for a marriage license and ask them! Good luck!

Michelle, this should be posted on the homework site.

However - it varies somewhat by State. Where?
