[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 411870, member: 6705"] We had a cousin who went nuts with this for a while. We loved it. But... It got lost in the shuffle of illness, moving, etc. My kids' family tree is a mess, simply because we have little information on BM's side, and the likelihood of getting it is, well - yeah, not happening. When her father died in 2007 (?), the kids found out that Mommy had at least two half sisters and a half brother - all halves to one another too - their Gpa was not exactly a faithful man. I think even BM was surprised. ...And on MY side - my mother's parents were each the youngest of 9 - LIVING - children. One of my Gpa's brothers was beaten to death by G-Gpa; back then, no CPS... Gma was so much younger than her oldest brother, that she had nieces and nephews [I]older[/I] than she... And my Mom was the oldest of three - but too young to remember either of her brothers, one of whom lived 4 days (she was just over 1 y/o) and the other of whom died in utero - and Gma had to carry him still because no good way to induce (this is the story, and they are sticking to it). Gma was a little weird. She absolutely adored me - but she was WEIRD. My DAD, was the middle child of three. Oldest son. His Gpa, we don't even know a birthdate on; and Gma "ran off with a truck driver"... Who really knows??? Other Gma and Gpa, I remember as living in a nursing home when I was very small, and it was the kind of place that smelled funny. NOT like most nursing homes now!!! I could put together a sketchy tree, but... [/QUOTE]
