22 first cousins from 6 families.
Over 100 second cousins. 3 of my 4 grandparents had very large families with 11, 10, and 8 siblings.

My children have so many third cousins that they don't even realize that many kids that they know are their cousins.

I have four cousins and four siblings.

They are one and the same.

Never really understood the whole second or third cousin thing. I'm not good at math.

I just stuck to the general rule... if they're blood-related, don't frick 'em.

Zero first cousins
Don't know any of my second cousins, but I know I've met some

I am using the general rule of 1st = same grandparents and 2nd = same great-grandparents. I know there are many other variations like half, step, once-removed, etc.

So inbreeding is still a thing over there.

38 or 39 first cousins on Scruffy's dad's side.

4 first cousins on Scruffy's mom's side.

Absolutely no idea how many 2nd cousins, but it is way too damn many.

48 first cousins on one parent's side. I believe between the 48, they've got 35 children or so. I lose count.
4 first cousins on the other side.

I think that's your second cousin, or it may be 1st once removed. No clue.

First cousin, once removed.

Your kid and your cousin's kid are/would be second cousins.

11 first cousins.

2nd cousins...hm. My grandparents on my dad's side had one sibling each that I never met and are long gone (I think). We're still close to my grandparents' siblings on my mom's side, though most of my mom's cousins are closer to my age and that gets into a whole different "removed" deal.
