Karen:

I have just been rereading OOP and this struck me.
" I haven't looked at this for years.  There's Phineas Nigellus... my 
great-great-grandfather, see? Least popular headmaster Hogwarts ever 
had...and Araminta Meliflua...cousin of my mother's...tried to force 
through a Ministry Bill to make Muggle-hunting legal..."  
Pg 113 of the US version.

This says to me that the House of Black comes from Sirius's mom or 
she did indeed marry into her own family for her cousin to be on the 
family tree.
