Or, if you find yourself in WV, anything past first.

Most of my family is from WV (Grandfather moved up from there, still go to the reunions there every year)

I guess I'm just classy.

WV doesn't recognize cousins as being kin. And if you fill out a form and pay a fee ($5 or a jug of moonshine), you can get siblings and parents removed from your family tree for procreation purposes.
