Blanche's family:

father: his name started with a C, and it escapes me at the moment, but it was mentioned in Wham Bam, Thank You Mammy. To which Blanche replied "No one ever called him by his first name, they all just called him Big Daddy!"
granddaughter (daughter of Janet): Melissa (seen in Beauty and the Beast)


Rose's family:

mother who adopted Rose (not step mother): Alma (seen in Blanche and the Younger Man)
natural mother: Ingrid Kerclavaner (mentioned in Once in St. Olaf)

Dororthy's family:

Aunt: Theresa (mentioned in episodes Rose The Prude and Heart Attack)
goddaughter: Jenny (seen in The Mangiacavallo Curse Makes a Lousy Wedding Present)
sister-in-law: Angela (mentioned a few times, seen in Ebbtide's Revenge)


That's from what I remember. Everything else is true to my knowledge.

**moo**

[moofomoo]

Dorothy's family:

daughter-in-law: Lorraine (seen in Mixed Blessings)

By the way...remember Lorraine was pregnant, and that's why Dorothy and Greta agreed to grit their teeth while they got married? Whatever happened to the baby? hmmmmmmmmmm...

**moo who makes you go hmmmmm**

I have a question about the list of relatives. How come you have Alma listed as being Rose's stepmother?? If anything, she would be Rose's adopted mother, wouldn't she? I'm confused!

Also, about Blanche's family, you left out her Uncle Lucas (Seen in One Flew Out of the Cukoo's Nest). At least, I didn't see him, maybe I just missed him LOL.

[boechsner]

That first list was not complete, just what I remembered. I'm glad that you pointed out the Alma listing, yes I meant to have said adopted mother. I will go back and correct and add those.

[jayman75]

Blanche's father's name was Curtis Hollingsworth. His name was mentioned in the episode where Blanche's "mammy" came back to tell Blanche about the affair. She tells Blanche that she and Curtis were lovers. Blanche replys that she is shocked -- she'd never heard anyone use Big Daddy's name before!

:wave:

[moofomoo]

Thanks for noticing I mentioned that Alma was Rose's adopted mother... :nonono: (pathetic smiley, but about the closest to my face at the moment.)

CURTIS, thanks for reminding my poor excuse for a memory that Big Daddy's name was Curtis. I kept wanting to say Clive or Cleatus or something like that.

**moo, who wonders if she doesn't type in invisible ink sometimes**

Great show but relatives are confusing. Sisters, children appear and disappear. Questions How many children did each Golden Girl Have ? How many brothers and sisters did each Golden Girl have ? What happened to Rose's mother ? Was Rose adopted and her father was a monk ? Did Blanche give her sister her kidney ? When show ended what happened to each Golden Girl ? Did Dorothy ever return to Stan ? It would be nice to create a Golden Girls Family Tree

I don't have much info, but this is what I know. "Did Blanche give her sister her
kidney"? No, Blanche's kidneys were to small. "Did Dorothy ever return to Stan"?
She almost did, but Stan wanted Dorothy to sign a pre-nuptial agreement, she declined then she called off the wedding.
The last two episodes Dorothy married Blanche's uncle(don't remember his name).
As far as sisters and brothers: Dorothy
had one brother and one sister, Phil and Gloria. Blanche had two sisters, Virginia and Charmaine. Sophia had one sister, Angela. I'm not sure about Rose. As far as children: Dorothy had Kate and Michael. I only know of 2 kids that Blanche had, Rebecca and Janet, there could be more. I only know of two kids that Rose had, Kirsten and Bridget, there
could be more. Sophia had Dorothy, Gloria and Phil. I hope this helps! Oh one last thing, a retired mormon school teacher gave Virginia her kidney.

Blanche's uncle's name was Lucas.
Didn't Sophia have a brother?Angelo? At least Angelo I think.I thought that, in one of her stories, she mentioned that she slept in the same bed as the four of her brothers, or something like that...I dont' remember exactly, but I think only Angelo and Angela were on the show.
Didn't Blanche mention some sons once? Skippy and ....I dunno.But I know she mentioned skippy.
Rose, let's see, Kirsten, Bridget, there's more I know, because she mentioned that all her children were concieved on Special St.Olaf holidays.And she mentioned four I think.
Dorothy had two kids, Michael and Kate. and two siblings, Phil and Gloria.
Anythign else you needed lol..I may not know it, but I coudl research a little.

I think Blanche also had a son Matthew, and of course she had her two daughers Rebecca and Janet (Don't know if they were mentioned here already, they probably were!) And Rose had a granddaughter Charlie. And Blanche has several grandkids. Hope that helps.

On Rose's family --

"Buddy" was an old high school flame. He came into town after being in a band in Europe. He told Rose that marrying Charlie was a mistake, so she dumped him (Myles also was in the show, and he thought he kicked him out).

George Deveraux had a brother that Blanche almost fell in love with. He looked identical to him (I think they were the same actor in two different episodes).

George also had an illegitimate son, David. He came to the house to sell encyclopedia's, and Blanche threw him out. He came back later and Blanche gave him a picture of George fishing. So, I know it's not direct relation, but she does have a "step-son" sort of thing.

Just something things... ;)

[moofomoo]

You guys need to check the other posts before asking things like that. We made corrections and additions in "Relatives" lower on the list of topics. I think it's pretty accurate.

**moo**

[moofomoo]

Since people don't look lower...i'll bump this up for viewing.

**moo**

[GoldenFamilyTies]

I will merge this thread with the "Need Family Tree" thread so it will be one thread with a lot of family info! :)

[GoldenFamilyTies]

Also, dfidn't Rose have a son named Adam? I'm pretty sure she mentioned him in yesterdays episode. :)

Yeah, I think she did. She mentioned him when they were all talking about how their kids were concieved.

On the www.lifetimetv.com website, there are various games you can play. In the one called "Relatives" (I think), it said Rose had three daughters -- Kierstan (sp), Bridgette and Janella. Who the heck is Janella? When is she mentioned?????

[boechsner]

Janella was mentioned in The Accurate Conception.

[jayman75]

Was this the episode where Blanche's daughter wants to get artificially inseminated??
