My first cousin is a lesbian and has a wife - she married her in France where, unlike in Poland, gay marriages are legal. My other first cousin in turn, had a husband who is bisexual and left her for his best friend, Ernest.

Bump! :D

My very distant cousin died of the Covid-19 a couple of months ago and her elderly mother contracted it too, then - she wasn't even told about her daughter's death and funeral until she got better.

My great grandmother was the first woman in her hometown to get a divorce once it became legal for women to do so in Georgia.

My great grandfather on my dad's side was somewhat famous for sailing from Hawaii to the Philippines by himself and his boat hangs in a museum in the Philippines.

My great grandmother also used to cure my mom's warts and the warts of her other grandchildren by buying them with pennies.

All my grandparents and most relatives are not originally Tagalogs and did not came from any Tagalog major ethno-linguistic region.

Unlike me and my sister.

My grandmother had three boobs.

I have an auntie with a man's name and an uncle with a woman's name.

My cousin and I were born on the same day / year.

My uncle lived off grid hiding from the DEA.

My grandfather was a pyromaniac.

Pretty much all the men were autistic.

My recently deceased grandaunt and my paternal grandmother are identical twins.

Genetically speaking, this means I have at least 3 half aunts/uncles and other more half cousins through them.


... Still not as messy as my great-grandfather through my paternal grandfather did. He had like 3 or 4 so mistresses.

I have an unknown of number of half grandaunts and granduncles through him -- they're at least like 6 or 10 of them somewhere...

That's kinda crazy in a fun way. How do you feel about all that?


My great aunt kidnapped my mother and her sister in the trunk of a car.

Too many more people to track. :lol: :lol:

Not as many and as confusing as involving my maternal side of my family.

I have three long-lost first cousins I haven't seen since the late 1970s. No one knows where they live.

One cousin went from being a beautiful, successful millionaire to living in a garage with no heat, and losing her kids. (Drugs)

My grandmother was pronounced dead when giving birth to my auntie, but then recovered.

I have no living uncles (blood related).

My cousin's child medically transitioned female-male in their 30s.

I had a great uncle who sold one of his songs for $100,000 in 1919.
