I just got off the phone...

Haha, welllllll.....

My mother is her first cousin, related through her mom's side and my father is a second or third cousin through her father's side.

Don't worry, no blood relations! lol

Yeah, I'm related to everyone in that town, lmfao.

LOL! Crazy family ties, eh?

Ronin's sire and Rumor's dam are littermates. Ronin and Ilsa share grandmothers.

I knew two guys in high school, whose mothers were sisters and fathers were brothers...
"John Smith" married "Betty Miller", and "Frank Smith" married "Kate Miller".... VERY odd!

 

[Laurelin]

That's pretty weird, too! Yep, crazy family ties.

Congrats on the new sweetie! You must be so excited.

LOL! Speaking of convoluted families, here's something.... my great-aunt is also my grandmother. Bonus points to anyone who can figure that out.

 

[Laurelin]

Hmmm... I'm trying to figure that one out, but I'm stumped.

She wasn't a twin, was she?

Nope. When my biological grandmother passed away several years before I was born, my grandfather married her sister. So my grandmother is my great-aunt.

Ah, I see! That is pretty crazy, lol.

All us southerners with our interesting family trees.

 

[darkchild16]

I have a cousin and my cousins brothers one of which I dated LOL

Lo, here we are all perpetuating the common perception of the south. :lol-sign:
