I wouldn't generalize - I grew up here and had 4 first cousins on my dad's side and three on my mom's from back home, but at the once removed level it blows up

I wouldn't generalize - I grew up here and had 4 first cousins on my dad's side and three on my mom's from back home, but at the once removed level it blows up - my dad had at least ten first cousins in the same city and I currently have a close relationship with a second cousin once removed from my mom's side in the city I live now.
