Both my parents were only children, their parents only had siblings for two out of 4. One of my Mom's second cousin was a retired NYPD cop from Ireland who took the time tracing the family tree. He went from a letter of condolence from my grandfather to his mom and tracked down my Mom. But those two branches being large we didn't click with any of them but him. Cool for my mom and fun to meet distant relatives. Thanks for jogging my memory, I should contact him and see who has kids around my kid's age (15) just to see. My wife, an only child too, is close with her second cousins and that is the extended family for us.
