We have an annual family reunion that is from my mother's maiden name,McInnis.We have folks come from several states,even had a family two years ago come from Norway.People will often bring folks with them that are no kin at all,such as friends,neighbors.We have a generic name for them.We call them shirt-tail cousins.Do not know the origin of the phrase. As friendly as Mayberrians are,I reckon most of them would be shirt-tail cousins.Has anyone ever heard this term before?
