10 questions about your family

1) how many siblings do you have?
Originally 3, now 2 that I know of. Haven't been in touch with any of them for years.

2) Are your grandparents still alive?
No. I only knew my mother's father, who died in 1970 at 102. The others all died before I was born.

3) Are your parents still alive?
No. Mom died in 1965, Dad in 1970.

4) Do you have any children?
No, unless you're counting pets.

5) Do you have any grandchildren?

See question 4.

6) How many first cousins do you have?
I'm not really sure, I only met 5 of them while in my teens. Only 1 was near my age, the rest much older.

7) Who is the oldest person in your family?

Current family? Me, at 63.

8) Who is the youngest person in your family?
My cat, at 10. Though once we calculate cat-years, perhaps she's really older.

9) Who is the tallest person in your family?
Me, since the cat is only about 15" tall.

10) Which family member do you like the least?
Me.
 
No siblings.

Grandparents all dead.

Both parents alive.

No kids or grandkids.

Three first cousins.

Oldest would probably be my uncle at 69 - 70ish.

Youngest would be the youngest of the aforementioned cousins at 8.

Tallest would have to be my dad by the skin of his teeth (or scalp) followed by me. Not that either of us are particularly tall, just that the rest of them are short.

Least liked probably depends on who I talked to last. ;)

Pretty much my dad's whole side of the family. The only people on his side I really get along with is a first cousin once removed, who was adopted, a second step-cousin, my aunt's boyfriend, and my other aunt's husband, none of who are genetically related to me.
 
4) One on the way.
We're starting? But I'm not ready! We're going to have to do this apocalypse with just one antichrist for the time being. Although, if my niece's power manifests we may be okay.

Should I track down Noel, or would that be overkill? I mean, we're not going for Ragnarok here.

Anyway, congratulations.
 
1) how many siblings do you have?

I'm adopted. I am told that my bio-dad was married to another woman--my bio-Mom to another man. So I'd be a bastard going and coming in Game Of Thrones. I think I am half brother to several siblings, whom I have never met.
My adoption papers were worked on by a Joyce Greathouse of Childen's aid.

I am told they would contact my parents to see if they want to talk to me. But that could cause not one but two divorces, so I must be silent.

2) Are your grandparents still alive
3) Are your parents still alive?
4) Do you have any children?
5) Do you have any grandchildren?

No to all the above.

I haven't had grandparents since the mid 1970s. I lost both adoptive parents in four months...Feb 1 2004 for Dad, May 30 2014 for Mom.

6) How many first cousins do you have?
Four that I know of still living

7) Who is the oldest person in your family? My Aunt...Annie Cooper
 
1) 1
2) Just one.
3) Yes.
4) No, but I hope to have one
5) Nope.
6) 5 by birth, but nine in all if I count the ones who married into the family.
7) My great-aunt who is 104.
8) My niece, age 5.
9) My dad.
10) That's a toughie.
 
1. No siblings.
2. No living grandparents.
3. No living parents.
4. One unofficial daughter.
5. No grandchildren yet.
6. Eight cousins, one now deceased.
7. A 91-year-old aunt.
8. One of my cousins' kids, in high school.
9. No idea.
10. No comment.


4) Do you have any children?


Doubtful, having always been careful. Although there was a brief period of recklessness in the first giddy months of graduating high school and running off to hang out in New York. Which means any hypothetical stray offspring would be well into their 30s now, a horrifying thought.

5) Do you have any grandchildren?


Yes.

Fascinating. I wonder where those grandchildren came from.
 
1) How many siblings do you have?
Three. I'm the oldest in the litter.

2) Are your grandparents still alive?
All but my maternal grandfather, who I was the closest with of my grandparents.

3) Are your parents still alive?
Yes, alive and well!

4) Do you have any children?
Nope. If I form a long term relationship with the right person, maybe. But it's not something I'm going to rush.

5) Do you have any grandchildren?
Nope.

6) How many first cousins do you have?
Three.

7) Who is the oldest person in your family?
I think that's my paternal grandfather at 79.

8) Who is the youngest person in your family?
My youngest cousin, she's 13. (Holy hell is she really that old already?)

9) Who is the tallest person in your family?
Tie between my brother and my uncle. They're 6'4" both of them.

10) Which family member do you like the least?

Probably my aunts husband, the father to two of my cousin's. It's not that he's a bad guy, I mean he has excellent taste in sci-fi and all. He's just very curt in tone a lot of the time and we made the mistake of doing some jobs for him. He is very particular about things. So overall, not that bad really. I have a very rocky relationship with my eldest sister, but it's better now that she's living in Japan and with her husband.

8) Who is the youngest person in your family?
9) Who is the tallest person in your family?
10) Which family member do you like the least?

This lacks one very important question, though.
