That is small compared to the numbers showing up here. Some of them are surprising. However my list of 2nd cousins and 1st cousins once removed is huge. We worked it out one time and if my husband and I only invited family to our wedding there would be a total of 312 Aunts, Uncles and cousins on my side alone his side would be 30 people. Its a good thing we eloped.

I don't really know. My father has 11 brothers and sisters and some illegitimate siblings which I never got to meet. I only met 6 sibling of my father. I know that they have families somewhere already but I don't really know them. So far I only know about 34 cousins but there is just more of them actually. I don't even include those illegitimate children of my uncles too. One uncle of mine married 3 times and had children from each marriages which I also didn't get to meet.

I have way too many to even start counting. My mother has 26 brothers and sisters because my grandfather was married 3 times and my father has 8 + however many as my grandmother was married twice. Too many to count!!

Hey. Wow, you've really made me think about just how huge my family is... My parents come from big families themselves. We know on both sides of our parents we have big families, but when you tally both sides of your parents up together, it is mighty huge LOL... Look at this, on my dads side I have 53 1st couins alot of them are older then us and on my moms side I have 41 1st cousins, gheese thats 94 in total, one more will make 95, But I doubt that, then again, a couple of my uncles in there 50's 40's pumped out babies 2 years ago and these are our youngest first cousins... LOL
