My great-grandfather was one of fourteen children!
I browsed my old genealogy papers and found the names of a great-grandfather Gunnar (my mother's father's father) and all his siblings. Here they are:
Beda (f)
Erik Werner
Johan Villiam
Albin Gotthard
Edla Johanna
Sven Petrus
Nils Ruben
Alma Emilia
Tora Ingeborg
Emma Eleonora
Sigfrid Gunnar Arvid (great-granddad)
Signe Linnea
Benny Margita Ingegerd (yup, a female Benny!)
Georg Oskar Valdemar
BTW, a few days ago I also met two third cousins and one third cousin once removed (I think that's the correct term in English)!
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
