I came into contact with my favorite cousin today, but unfortunately there wasn't any time or room to catch up and reminisce on old times. That got me thinking about other people's families, the Fakku community in particular. We all come from different backgrounds and heritages. Some of us now have our own families (or are starting one). So if you're willing, take the time to delve into your past, present and future regarding your relationship with your family. You can start in any fashion you want. As the OP, I'll start things off. I'll add additional information as we go along.
Family types:
-Immediate Family: nuclear or single parent family household
-Divided Family: Divorced parents, but both are still in the child's life
-Extended Family: A family consisting of many relatives living in one roof
-Childless: Family with no children
-New Branch: Your own newly created family
----------------------------------------------
My family background
Ethnicity: Black
Heritage: African (Mother's side) / Jamaican (Father's side)

Family types: Divided (Mother, Father, Brother, and a half Sister)

Ethnicity: Caucasian
Heritage: German (Mum's side) / Scottish (Dad's side)
Nationality: British
Direct Family populace: 3. Mum, Dad and half brother who doesn't live with us.
Immediate family populace: I assume this means devil spawns. Don't have any or have plans to have any.
Grandparents: On my mum's side; 1 dead, 1 still alive.
Dad's side I have no idea since we don't talk to them on account of a financial dispute my dad has with his brother - my uncle. Funnily enough he's called Bob, so Bob literally is my uncle.
Other: 3 uncles, 3 aunts, 2 cousins that I'm aware of and on my dad's side a cousin that got in contact with me through Facebook, though she later deactivated her account. She has a kid so also a first cousin. Another woman from my dad's side added me on Facebook before that, forgot what relation she is though. But I trawled her friends list and she has 6 people with my surname, and each of their names are consistent in each other's friends lists. So 6 other potential family members. The younger ones I'm gonna assume are cousins.
I also often get asked whether I'm related to someone called Sam who has the same surname as I do. I don't actually know if I am.

Ethnicity: Caucasian.
Heritage: English (Mother) / Scottish (Father)
Nationality: British
Direct family populace: Father, Mother, 1 older brother (deceased) and older 2 sisters.
Immediate family populace: Dunno if I should include her here or not but...my Wife. No kids, no plans on having any either.
Grandparents: 4, all of which are deceased.
Misc: Bunch of Uncles, Aunts and cousins on my Father's side. Funnily enough only met them twice, never asked why we're so distanced. I know they were all in an orphanage and only in the last few years did my Father manage to contact a few of his sisters because the people who adopted them changed their first names. Found them over Facebook.
