The Bus Station Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I love hearing about big Catholic (or non-Catholic) families. I have 24 first cousins, 21 on my dad's side and 3 on my mom's, and I'm one of 6 kids Get-togethers are always exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides quarens intellectum Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Don't really know how many - my dad's fam basically disowned him, and not everyone in my mom's fam kept in touch. i do know of 7 first cousins on my mom's side, from four of her brothers. i'm not helping, am i?

Archaeology cat Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 16. 13 on my mom's side (only one of her siblings is Catholic), and 3 on my dad's side. Our family get-togethers are quite fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
