Nice post. I always find it interesting in those large families, that one child will be getting married when another child is very young. I wonder if they have a close sibling connection.
ReplyDeleteI’m familiar with a case in my extended family in Ireland where the oldest son grew up and left for the US before the youngest daughter was born. They met only once, when she traveled to Massachusetts in her 60s, around 1990. The brother was quite elderly by then.
