In the episode in which she tries to welcome the Tupperware district head (played by Charlotte Rae), Edith recalls how she got distracted by her kid brother picking his nose but I don't recall that she said his name nor any other mention of him or other siblings (much less nieces or nephews). I don't recall any of them visiting.

On the Edith Bunker Wikipedia page it lists 3 siblings of hers:

Harry Baines (brother)
Gertrude Baines (sister)
Helen Baines (sister)

I need to watch closely now to catch where she mentions them. From your post, I got the Tupperware one about her brother, but i'm at a loss for which episodes she mentions her 2 sisters. :confused:

She has a ton of cousins though. Throughout the series, she mentions a plethora of them that I began to wonder if it was some kind of running joke that she had so many cousins. :lol:

Her Wikipedia page only lists Cousins Maude, Liz, and Amelia, but I know she mentions so many other ones through her stories during the series. Maybe i'll keep a pad close by and write them all down as they're mentioned. :lol:
