How many first cousins do you have?
Mom’s side with one sibling - 2 cousins
Dad’s side with three siblings having children - 17 cousins (although one died many years ago) -
Among your first cousins, how many of them (that you know of) have siblings that are not “full siblings”?
None. All of my aunts and uncles are either widowed from their only spouse, or are still married to that spouse.
However, my dad did have step-siblings that no one in our immediate family recognize. I’m sure there are step-cousins out there, but I have no clue who they are or who their parents are.

I have two first cousins. I am the oldest at 32, the next is 25, and the youngest is nearly 8 months old. The large age gap us due to my grandmother having her last child (father of the new addition) late at 47, and he himself not starting a family till he turned 40.
My middle cousin has a half sibling - his mother already had a daughter from a previous relationship when she met my uncle and had him - but as we share no grandparents I haven’t counted her in this. In real life she’s definitely one of the family though - she was bridesmaid at my wedding.
In a weird coinky dink, our cousins (some of us, at least) were trying to identify the kids in a 40 plus year old photo the past few days. One of our paternal cousins sent it to one of my brothers, who posted it online. We’ve identified everyone but the dog, so far. 
I would have 21 cousins: 15 paternal and 6 maternal; two of my maternal cousins are dead. They each had a form of muscular dystrophy where most of their muscles never developed ( it was discovered when they were around 6 months and should have been able to turn over, but couldn’t); back in the '60s, a cold could go to pneumonia very quickly (they were always being rushed to the hospital), because they couldn’t coug well enough. 
I am the oldest cousin on my mother’s side; the age range is from 41 to 58. On the paternal side, the age range is from 46 to 62.
Only one family was divorced then re-married and had more children; my father’s sister had one child from her first marriage–she divorced and married again, then had two more children, so 3 of them are half-siblings.
The next generation will be even fewer cousins, whereas my father’s generation there were many, many cousins. Both of his parents came from 12 children families!!
On my mother’s side
I have 10 cousins
Ages ~19-31
1 cousin has 5 half-siblings.

None. Neither of my parents had siblings.

N/A
- age range: 60 something-28 on one side of the family. I have 33 cousins on that side. 40-15 on the other side of the family. 12 cousins on that side.
Both figures include my siblings in age ranges but not in cousin count.
All my cousins have only full siblings, no halves or steps. I am counting the family of adopted children as full siblings because they were adopted by the same two parents. (that’s not to say divorce has not happened in my family, just that no children were produced in the other relationship or brought into the family in that generation. On either side. Weird, huh?) However, my maternal grandfather remarried after my grandmother died. His second wife has 6 children of her own and many grand kids. We have some contact with them, but it’s not the same connection as with my blood family.
- What is the age range of your first cousins?
Mother’s side: 34 is the oldest (2 are there, with my sister almost there). 10-12 is the youngest (I can’t remember how old she is). The widest range on this side is between 2 sisters.
Father’s side: Well, the oldest of the cousins is actually not my cousin. She’s my sister and is almost 34. The oldest of MY cousins is 28 or 29. I can’t remember for sure but I know he’s only sightly younger than me. I think the youngest of the cousins is actually my sister but I really don’t know. I haven’t met her. MY youngest cousin is somewhere close to my sister’s age though. I haven’t seen any of that side of the family in 11 years and I haven’t seen some of those cousins since I was 12 or 13.
- How many first cousins do you have?
On my mother’s side: 2 from her little sister and 5 from her little brother. None from her big brother. So - 7.
On my father’s side: 2 each from both his sisters and 1 brother and 1 from his other brother. So - 7.
14 total, split nicely between maternal and paternal.
- Among your first cousins, how many of them (that you know of) have siblings that are not “full siblings”? By that I mean cousins of yours whose own siblings are not from the same two parents as theirs. (I’ll explain in my own case below.)
My mother’s sister married twice and had 1 daughter from each. The older sister is 12 or 14 years older than the younger.
My mother’s brother has all 5 children with the same lovely woman he’s still married to.
My father’s siblings all got their procreating done with a single person.
My father was the only one to have children with 2 women but his 2 younger kids are my siblings, not my cousins.
I could only tell you the names of about 80% of my first cousins, and only if I did a little family history research.
My paternal grandparents were married in 1896 in Arkansas and had 13 kids over a long period of time, my father was the 2nd to youngest. They died in the early 1970’s when they were in their 90’s. At one reunion when I was a teenager one of my aunts met her eldest brother for the first time, she was 40ish and he was in his 70s. I really couldn’t tell you how many first cousins I have on this side, a lot. I have second cousins who are grandparents now.
My maternal grandparents only had 7 kids and I think I have 15 first cousins on that side. I do not keep close enough contact with enough of them to know much about their lives now, although we were all close when we were younger.
I only have cousins on my mother’s side of the family.

What is the age range of your first cousins?
31-57, we are spaced fairly evenly, the only big gap is the 8 yrs between my sister and brother
My oldest first cousin is 57. I am 40. My brother is the youngest cousin. He is 31. -
How many first cousins do you have?
7 first cousins (10 for that generation, including my sibs and I) -
Among your first cousins, how many of them (that you know of) have siblings that are not “full siblings”? By that I mean cousins of yours whose own siblings are not from the same two parents as theirs. (I’ll explain in my own case below.)
Only one of the cousins, the oldest who is 57 is from my aunt’s first marriage, though he was formally adopted by my uncle.
An intersting tidbit, I share a birthday with one of my cousins. Two other cousins share a birthday.
- 45-60ish
- 19
- 4
- What is the age range of your first cousins?
I’m the oldest of the cousins, at 34. The youngest isn’t 1 yet, but was born a month or so before my birthday. So, nearly 34 years.
- How many first cousins do you have?
I have thirteen cousins.
- Among your first cousins, how many of them (that you know of) have siblings that are not “full siblings”? By that I mean cousins of yours whose own siblings are not from the same two parents as theirs. (I’ll explain in my own case below.)
They’re all full siblings. I have one cousin who is a cousin by marriage (her mother married my uncle) but she’s an only child. My cousins can’t say the same, though. On the paternal cousin side, my sister and I have the same father, but different mothers. On the maternal cousin side, my brother and sister each have different biological fathers and mothers, who are also different from my own; they’re both adopted. So I’d qualify for 3) from my cousins’ perspectives.
That all sounds more confusing than it actually is, hmm.
- 60 (Mom’s side) to 22 (Dad’s side)
- Mom’s family: 22 cousins, I think ; Dad’s family: 5 cousins.
- none
-
The oldest is 42, youngest 9. All from my mom’s side, a family of 5 sisters - there is 14 years between my mom’s oldest and youngest sisters, and some had kids young, some not until their late 30s.
-
6, that I know of. My oldest aunt gave up two babies for adoption, one is now part of our family but we’ve never met the other. There are possibly more on my dad’s side, he was an adopted only child and we know almost nothing about his biological family,
-
My oldest cousin is the first daughter of my oldest aunt, who had her when she was 19 and gave her up for adoption. My aunt had her 2nd daughter 12 years later. The half-sisters didn’t meet until they were 32 and 20. Everyone else has either 1 or two full siblings.
- What is the age range of your first cousins?
30 years.
- How many first cousins do you have?
Including my self and my siblings, there’s 16 of us.

6 of my cousins have half/adopted siblings but combined that’s only 3 people:
One a half sister of 2 of my first cousins’, one a half sister of 1 of my first cousin’s (and of those 3 first cousins, the 2 and the 1 are half siblings), and one adopted by the parents of 3 (different) first cousins.
And my sister and are only half sisters, however that mixes it up.
I have 21 first cousins (or had). They were born between 1920 and 1956.
The two oldest (twins) shared a father but not a mother with their 9 siblings; their father had been married and lost his wife, before he married my aunt.
My paternal aunt adopted two children, who were not genetically related at all. Another
paternal aunt adopted one child.
Only the last cousin is younger than I am. The older ones’ children are my contemporaries. I have first cousins I hadn’t met until I was in my late 30s, when we all started attending the same family (funerals) events.
