I think i could be the winner!
On my mums side I have 6 cousins, one of which is Basic who posts here.
But dads side is where is gets crazy. My dad has 18 brothers and sisters!!! All of which apparently have children. I cant tell you an exact number because they all live in England and i dont know any of them. But i must have a LOT of cousins.
Will consult dad and see if I cant get back to you with an exact number.
Sounds familiar to me Jod!
I have 2 cousins on my mums side, and 11 on my dad's side.
However my son has 2 on my side and 23 on his fathers side as well as one deceased. The eldest out of that lot is only about 15.
On that side of the family, my ex has something like 125 first cousins. He is one of 10 surviving kids. Their mother one of 16 suriving children (there were 3 or 4 that died) and his dad one of 11, before that side had a remarriage at grandparent level and added another 5 or 6 step aunts and uncles. Their kids however aren't counted in the 'first cousins'. That number is all full blood first cousins.
