re: #136 McSpiff

My parents both come from families of 12. My grand parents all came from families of 4-6. I’m an only child. I do have something like 36-40 first cousins. If the baby boom had continued I should have something 200. Just didn’t happen

My grandparent’s families ranged from 2-6. My parents both had 3 siblings (each, not combined). They had seven kids. I have 16-17 cousins on each side, combined with my six siblings.

There is no “bump” in my family. Although the next two oldest kids in the family (my parents were both oldests) delayed getting married and then had small families, resulting in the most boring family reunions (for me) that you can imagine.
