Dad was 1 of 11.

Mark,

My husband has 1 cousin, I have 35 and far too many to count, of second cousins. It has been interesting finding all the names of many born and died before I was born. It has been a fascinating journey finding them all.

Edit: I have just looked at my tree. Eldest 1st cousin born 1907, youngest 1st cousin born 1953. I came somewhere inbetween!
