How many generations of living people do you have in your family? There are just two generations left of mine; my parents, and then my siblings and I.

I really don't understand the concept of generations, does it mean who lives in your house?

Nah like 'levels' of family if that makes sense; so if you have any living grandparents then that's one generation, your parents, aunts and uncles would be a second generation, you are a third generation along with any cousins, if you or any cousins had any kids then that would be a fourth generation etc...

4 generations living but have knowledge of family as early as late 1800's who come from Canada and Italy, a lot of Welsh have Italian relatives apparently though hence the dark features. Would love to find out more.

Got 3, family is just getting bigger at the moment

I had so many wedding in last two years, 2012 there was like wedding all the times, from April - October there just wedding after wedding after wedding. (Including my sister got married that year)

My brother got married last year, thankfully there were two last year! ,

the last wedding I went to was so awkward,

Huge fight kicked off in pre-wedding party the night before, black eyes and chairs went flying I heard the next morning!

The mood was just not right, those people ruined the wedding, the next day half cousin didn't even turn up!

Your maths is a bit off as you're assuming that the youngest member is at least 18...

For example, there could be a newborn baby, parent aged 26, grandparent aged 52, great grandparent aged 78... 4 generations with a perfectly reasonable gap of 26 years between generations. You could even feasibly squeeze in a fifth generation aged 98... As women being married with children aged around 20 was quite normal 75+ years ago.

As for myself, a measly 3... My parents, myself and my sister, and my two girls. Two of my grandparents were dead before I was born, another when I was 5 and the final one at just 8! So for more than 15 years until I had my first, there were just TWO .
