I don't know how many second cousins, lots.</p> <p>My girls only have one first cousin, hopefully they'll get a couple more but we are claiming some of their second cousins as straight up cousins as well. </p> <p>My mother has (or had, they aren't all still alive) 131 first cousins! Mennonite family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-cousins#post-359249 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:37:05 +0000 prettylizy 359249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 on my dads side, and 3 on my moms.

Maybe 25-30 on my mom's side? My dad is one of 4, so on his side there is a more reasonable number-6. At this point, most of my cousins have 1-3 kids of their own. Big family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-cousins#post-359209 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:11:35 +0000 Turd Ferguson 359209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 5 on my mom's side and 5 on my dad's side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-cousins#post-359200 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:01:37 +0000 raintreebee 359200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no first cousins. : ( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-cousins#post-359198 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:58:37 +0000 Honeybee 359198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a ton of cousins on my dad's side, mostly because I know out to 4th (and even 5th!) cousins.

I only have 2, and they live on opposite sides of the country from me, so I haven't seen them in about 8 years :( DH has 8 or so? I don't know how many, but they all live in our state so we see them more often! I always wanted more cousins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-cousins#post-359097 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:30:58 +0000 heffalump 359097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom only has one sister, and she never had kids.
