    None that I know of. My Mother was an only child, my father died when I was two and for some reason, nobody told me much about him or his family.

    I will have to count:
    Mom's side:
    10 aunts and uncles
    1, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2= 16 from Aunts 
    2, 4, 1, 2= 9 from Uncles

    Dad's side:
    3 Aunts and 2 Uncles
    2, 2, 5= 9 from Aunts
    2, 3= 5 from Uncles

    So looks like 39 but I have an 2 that are double cousins. (Their Mom is my Mom's sister and their Dad is my Dad's brother)

    So actually 37 cousins total. 
    Of course much more if getting 2nd and 3rd cousins.

    How do keep track of them? Have you met all or most of them?

    Yes, I have met them all. And grew up with most of them in the same town. I always thought it was funny when I was out with friends and we would run into one, then another, my freinds would eventually ask "How many cousins do you have?"
    I also knew some of my 2nd cousins in town as well. And now know most of my first cousins kids as well. This post was edited by my2cents at November 7, 2017 11:35 AM MST

    I am not from WV. Just a small town in southern IL with a large family.

    4 first cousins, but 1 passed away some time ago. 

    Wife has many more, lost count of how many aunts/uncles let alone their offspring.
