My dad has 12 siblings and my mom has 9 (two died when they were young which would make it 11) But yeah....Im trying to count, but I cant. I hardly even know them all.

CatherineM Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 My husband has 50 first cousins just on his dad's side. When we were applying for my immigration, one of the questions they ask in the interview to determine if the relationship is legitimate, and not just an immigration dodge, is for the name of all your spouse's siblings and cousins. I told him there was no way I could remember all 50 of his cousins. He said that was okay, because he wasn't even sure of all of their names.

hoosieranna Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I have three. All on my mom's side. Anyone want some extra cousins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I have five on my dad's side and 21 on my mom's side. Strangely enough, my father was raised Catholic and only has one sibling. His mother was raised Catholic with nine siblings. My mom was raised in whatever church was near them at the time (poor and moved a lot) and she had nine siblings. My mom converted to the Catholic church when she was 19 and married my dad. Her parents threatened to disown her if she married a Catholic. Any other religion was acceptable except that one. Grandma later professed that of all her children, my mother was more religious than any of them and my father one of her favorites. My poor parents had five children and only have two grandchildren. Those kids have two cousins in Utah that they have never met. I feel bad that they missed out on the fun of large family get togethers. They have never attended a family reunion and do not know any of their extended family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1520284' date='May 6 2008, 07:20 AM']12. 4 on my Dad's side, 8 on my Mom's side. Thats going to be my kids. lol They already have 26 on Matt's side of the family and and 6 on mine (so 32 total). My husband and I both come from large families (11 and 12 siblings, respectively). I'm at the "top of the line" and he's near the end, which is why there are so many cousins on that side of the family already. Only 4 kids in my family are married so far, versus only 4 NOT married in his family. lol[/quote] +J.M.J.+ i big Catholic families!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EAnn246 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 6 first cousins. all on my mom's side of the family. my grandma has 8 grandkids. my dad has 1 sibling and she doesn't have kids. however, I consider all my 2nd cousins on that side as 1st cousins because we're all close and because my dad and aunt were raised in the same house as them. there are over 20 of us on that side.
