A related pair of researchers (siblings? mom/son? dad/daughter?) travel to the Ozarks to investigate rumours of incestuous marriages and interbreeding... frivolity ensues...
 
Interesting concept, but I'm not sure the Ozarks is the place to set it. As far as I know, incest is common and accepted (perhaps even encouraged!) in the Ozarks, so why would someone ask for it to be investigated?

Might be better to place it in some upper-crust blue-blood community full of upstanding families and old money.

The idea is that the "outsiders" commission the academic study (anthropological?) sort of like Margaret Mead in Samoa- I doubt the Samoans asked her to investigate either...

My choice of the alliterative "Investigating" might have been misleading.

I think it works best as a mother/son story.

The mom could be a professor, and she's using her summer to do research for a book. She brings her son along. They investigate and find some interesting things.
 
Could go the route of Brother/sister psych students doing a paper on incest. They heard a rumor of a "incest club" and decided to check it out. They get there and find its all siblings and they talk about their forbidden attraction for each other and the two join in pretending to be a couple.

But the club is not trusting of new "couples" and....asks them to prove it.

Got it. That makes sense now. I like the anthropology angle. And of course the implicit question: how long until the anthropologists "go native"?

I have a story in the back of my head that I'll probably never write, called "The Farmer and Adele." Adele is a hellion of a wild child, poor mannered, ornery, given to fits of anger and violence. Her poor long-suffering farmer father can't get her married off. Nobody can put up with her!

He finally talks one of his neighbors into taking her to marry his simpleton son. But when the neighbor finds out she is a virgin, he marches her right back home, saying "If she ain't good enough for her own kin, we ain't gonna be fucking her neither!"

The farmer realizes he has to deflower his wild child daughter, just like all his neighbors do, if he ever wants to marry her off and get her the hell off his property. Fortunately, he has some experience having sex with wild animals (goats, sheep, the occasional boar), so he has a few ideas. And that's when the hijinx begin......
