Mom was one of 7, Dad was one of 14, but mostly in Germany. We take over a motel in the Catskills for our family reunion every June - usually about 150 of us. Just one brother for me, and an 'adopted' sister...we've been friends for most of our lives.

I'm an only child. My mother is one of two. My father was adopted. I have two cousins and two second cousins and all of my grandparents are dead. I have to admit that when I'm around large families, I find it a bit intimidating!

I've got four sisters and my parents, 14 aunts and uncles and a couple of dozen cousins nieces and nephews. I still have one grandmother living but when I was born I had two great great grandmothers, a full set of great grandparents and grand parents.

I only have one sister and a half sister whom Iv'e never met.(we each have a son named Caleb).
I however have 4 wild irish lads and lassies.(2 of each) And I couldn't do without a one! definatlydi, you might be scared of us! My oldest daughters boyfriend is an only child and she was at first reluctant to bring him 'round, but he fit in just fine, and calls me Mom now too! The more the merrrier I say!

There are 7 of us. Mom had 1 boy and 3 girls, and Dad had one of each when they got married, then they had me. I am about 20 years younger than my oldest sister, and 9 years younger than my youngest sister. The most that were ever still at home at the same time though was 4.
Cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews....everywhere by the bushel, from CA to FL. You can't travel across two states (below the mason dixon line) without hitting one where I have family.

I have two younger brothers, two younger stepbrothers and three younger stepsisters (my Dad and stepmother didn't marry until eight years ago). Between we eight kids, we have 25 children (some are step) and two grandchildren with another on the way!!!!!
My Dad has a brother and a half-sister; my Mom had five older siblings......I have seven cousins and one second cousin on my Dad's side and 11 cousins and 31 second cousins on my Mom's side.
My maternal grandmother came from a family of nine children and one of my paternal great grandmother came from a family of 17 children! 
On that note, I'm wondering if I should ask for genealogical pedigrees before accepting a date!!!!!

Jane-Was that a coincidence that you both named your son Caleb?

I have two brothers and a sister...a few nieces and nephews, and my mom.
Do siblings count if they have disowned you?
