Found this from the episode called No Room at the inn

No Room at the Inn
In her answering machine message, Aunt Effie refers to Thelma as her cousin. If Effie is Thelma's cousin, then she is a cousin once removed to Vint, Eunice, and Ellen, and a cousin twice removed to Buzz and Sonya - not their aunt. [It's very common for people to call someone their aunt or uncle, even if they're not really related to them in this way. It's used as a term of respect and affection.]

Also if you watch the episode where the older ladies of RayTown want to do a tap dance recitel(how ever it is spelled) Mama tells a story of when Aunt Effie and her were kids and how great of a tap dancer Aunt Effie was. So if Thelma knew Aunt Effie when they were kids I seriously doubt she was a Sister of Carl and Roy. I hardly think Thelma knew Carl when she was a young girl.

Also all the big sites that give information on tv show characters and actors and actress all list her as Aunt Effie Crowley

TVtome.com
IBM
Classictvhits.com

All list her as Aunt Effie Crowley.
