    I come from a family of one. I appeared, naked, in a ball of blue light, surrounded by lightning, one day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭gingerhousewife


    In Clare, there were 11 of us: Me, 5 brothers, 3 sisters and parents (and 1 bathroom!). If we start counting nieces/nephews/kids we'd be coming close to hitting the 30s!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭Noodleworm

    I'm an only child :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    6 in my family, 1 brother, 2 sisters, ma, da

    but it gets bigger, my dad has 17 brothers and sisters and my mam has 8

    which when they all marry and have 4-5 kids, and their kids have now started having kids, it gets pretty big.i have second cousins (cousins kids?) and cousins who were born in America, Australia, England etc.... as a few of my fathers brothers and sisters emigrated.

    my dads family fielded a 5 of a senior GAA team at one stage

    thats how I got the nickname mousey, because we breed like them


    I remember in transition year in one of the crap free classes the teacher handed out an A4 sheet to do a family tree, i had to request a A3 sheet and still ran out of room.
    ended up giving up after about 10 minutes



    edit forgot to add, im from wicklow
