Did Lucy or Ricky have any siblings?

Was "Cousin" Ernie a real cousin or was that a Southern appellation?

Ricky did I think, wasn't it revealed in the Season 1 ep. when Lucy turned the living room into Cuba cause she thought he missed his homeland?

Lucy, I don't think she had siblings, nothing was ever mentioned about them!

Yes the season one of Be a Pal in which Lucy dresses as Carmen Miranda Lucy says he has a bunch of brothers but in the episode in later season they go to Cuba to meet Uncle Roberto?? he seems he's an only child.

Cousin Ernie was the result of a letter from Lucy's mother, and he's (something like) her friend's uncle's cousin's third boy. But in Bent Fork TN, everyone's a cousin, the story goes.

Like others mentioned, Ricky was said to have siblings during season 1, but they are never seen or mentioned again. Lucy is never mentioned to have a sibling.

Cousin Ernie was Lucy's mother's friend's roommate's cousin's middle boy.

They should've had siblings so it would give them more storylines.

Lucy Carmichael had a sibling, Marge, played by Janet Waldo of “The Jetsons” fame (and who also guest starred in an episode of ILL).
