This week's #52 Ancestors topic is COUSINS. So I set out to figure out how many cousins I might have.
FIRST COUSINS: I only have two first cousins. They are the same ages as my sons, one even being born on the same day as my oldest son, but about 10 hours earlier.
This piqued my interest in the number of other cousins I had, so I ran a report from Legacy. Here's what I learned:
- 1C - 2
- 1C1R - 50
- 1C2R - 118
- 2C - 33
- 2C1R - 27
- 2C2R - 94
- 3C - 2
- 3C1R - 7
- 3C2R - 58
- 4C - zero
- 4C14 - 2
The numbers were interesting to me as I've always been envious of people who had a lot of cousins. I didn't know most of my cousins, and those I did know, I rarely saw. This is probably why I struggled to write a blog post about cousins. However, through my research, I have come to know most of their names and have learned a bit about many of them.
