The McClaine Family Tree

Sam met Ethel. They got married and my grandmother, Ethel, gave birth to three daughters, Ulla, Evy, and Ylva. She also had a son, Matti, my dad.

My dad met my mom when he went to Florida with some of his friends. Nine months later she had a baby boy, me. They moved to Sweden when I was 8 months old and got married. They had two more children, my brother Jason and my sister Mandy. When I was 13 we moved back to Florida. Two years later, my parents got a divorce. My dad moved back to Sweden and I stayed in Florida with my mom, my brother and my sister.

My aunt Ulla met Arne when she was just 16 years old. They got married and had two sons and one daughter, Morgan, Helen and Johnny. Later on they got divorced and Ulla met Jan. With him she had two daughters, Theresa and Jessica, and one son, Stefan.

Evy, my aunt, married Tomas and they had one daughter, Sara-Maria, and two sons, Niklas and Lucas.

My third aunt on my dad's side, Ylva got married to Bjorn. She gave birth to one girl, Anais, and one boy, John.

My cousin Morgan met Kristina and about five years later they got married and had a son, Mathias. They then had a baby girl, Elin, who turned one years old on Christmas Eve.
