Basque Family Size

topic posted Tue, August 9, 2005 - 6:14 PM by  John
Hey everyone..
This is my first post, and i must say i am happy to have found this group online. either way, i was wondering if all your family sizes are fairly abundant. i know live in Canada, and haven't knowingly met any Basque while i was here... and i make sure i present myself as one. i do actually commonly wear a beret, and wear Basque jewelery.. yet haven't been approached in recognition. also, my Basque name, Borthiry, is dying out. I am now the last one, and if i don't have a boy.. then that's that. generations of Borthirys end with me. there are only 2 other Borthiry families in the world, yet i am not sure of their sizes. am i alone here.. please tell me that some of your families are rich in people. thanks.

    yea, my family is pretty monstrous, there are 7 of us in my direct family, 6 boys 1 girl, and i have 2 aunts and 5 uncles as well so my family name *Ospital* shall be continued for a long while from now (I hope) there is only one Ospital family here in the SF bay area (thats us) and i guess there are a few in Idaho or somwhere in teh midwest?? I dunno, they called us one time and wanted to meet up, we couldn't though(too bad). but yea, back to your post, my family is pretty abundunt.
