Hubby and I have both been researching our family trees. He has cousins all over the place, and I have one less than two miles from here. Unfortunately, none of us are millionaires!
Sometimes doing the family bit will cause problems, to date I have discovered that I have 8 half brothers and so far 1 half sister, who was born in Australia. Seems like every where my father went he got some poor girl pregnant and then skipped town. Married several times, never divorced. That was, of course, before the internet
I’m Facebook Friends with about a dozen of my many second cousins, send Christmas cards with letters to several more, and visit them occasionally. Last Christmas I had found some artwork by one among papers I’d inherited from a maiden great aunt and sent it to his parents with their card; last week they sent me some old Swedish hymnals in the process of downsizing from a farm to an apartment.

My father had the same theory. :P

I have a lot of cousins—-most of whom I wouldn’t know if they walked up to me and shook my hand!

If you want to get to know your relatives, run for office or win the lottery.

I have a few cousins stay to themselves, not interested in visiting.

Most of my cousins were much older than i, and i’ve outlived them. That’s what comes of being the youngest child of a youngest child.

My immediate family is dead save for my twin brother. Any other members of any branch of the family has been silent.

With a name that long, I suspect a trick like “Bob Weottababyeetsaboy.”

As I recall, Michael Mussomandonio makes a mean massaman curry!
