We have had families, although we didn't have different colors or anything. Bigs would make their lil's family trees with the lineage. I just got an email from my great-great-great-grand lil' a few weeks ago!
Her big (my great-great-grand lil') was a new member when I was the new member educator. Some of the families, like mine, are rather close. Others aren't
My lil' and I are great friends... we even work together & hang out a couple times a week!!
