The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once told one of his Companions to choose a wife from a tribe different to his, and then to choose for his son a wife from a third tribe, and to seek for his second son a girl from yet another tribe.
Marriage among cousins is allowed but not advocated and if done repeatedly does pose a threat but not necessarily a big one if proper bloodtesting is done before the marraige,
By the way My wifes mother and father are first cousins and her grandparents are also first cousin,
And she turned out okay and so did my two children alhamdulillah
However, The Islamic view is that while marriage between cousins is permissible, it is preferable to choose a marriage partner from outside one's family. We have to distinguish between what is permitted and what is advocated.
Some clans such as what you have mentioned restrict marriages to amongst their kin only – a practice far from what is advocated. It is worth stressing here that when marriage of cousins is repeated over several generations, they are bound to have more effects on children.
By the way my wife and i are from families which are poles apar from eachother.
