I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters. I am the 3rd eldest with a sister and a brother older then me. My oldest brother is 5 years younger then me and the baby which is a sister is 12 years younger then myself. I am the oldest without kids however I have company in the fact that the youngest children don't have kids either. My baby sister is only 17 so I guess that's not much consolation.

yeah, i don't have a family tree so much as a family diagram. by my birth mother, i have an elder sister and an elder brother, and out of the three of us, only my big sis has confirmed paternity ... i count her half sister, by way of her father, as my sister. i was fostered with my birth mother's cousin from when i was 11, and she and her husband are who i think of as my parents, and through them i got 4 big brothers ... before finding out there's a fifth that they had before they got married, so he was put up for adoption ... so my answer to the question of siblings can be very, very complicated. two, no six, no, seven, wait, eight .... the response tends to be confusion.
and i'm the youngest of the lot of them.
My sister and I were adopted out to different families. I traced her 15 years ago and we are still in touch. We have another 7 siblings in America who probably don't know about us. Our birth mother died some years ago, though we have met a number of other relatives in Ireland.

I have 2 older brothers and a younger sister. I was married for 30 years (wife passed on 7 years ago). My sister married my wife's brother and they had a son who is my nephew but he is like a son as we always lived close by and he spent a lot of time with us. My wife and I never able to have kids.
I have a married older brother with a daughter and a baby son, another married brother with two daughters (one a baby) and married sister with a son and baby daughter. They're all in their 30s. (I'm in my mid twenties to give some context). Aside from me (and my wife) my brother with the two daughters and his wife are the only non-Christians.
I'm not one to ever pray for mercy
Or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine
But that day you know I left my money
And I thought of you only
All that copper glowing fine
