This list is self-explanatory, with no possible confusion as to who was my father and who my mother. They are ONE generation back from me, so descendants of their siblings in my generation are my FIRST cousins. My father had one brother and sister, neither of whom ever married, so I have no first cousins on that side of my family. My mother has two brothers, one of whom has two children, and the other three--so those five are all of my first cousins.
