I suppose I was the only one who assumed Shermie was a girl, wasn't I? "Shermie" sounds like a girl's name to me. In addition, I assumed Shermie was female because the baby had pink spots on its cheeks like Mabel instead of that pink splotch on the nose like Dipper and the Grunkles. My headcanon is all set to go in that Shermie is a girl and became a teen mother at the tender age of 14, and then her daughter did too in 1999. Ah, the curse, of single young motherhood. But that makes sense as to how the Pines' surname was passed down. I'm pretty sure Shermie would be dramatically kicked out of the house by her father like Stanley was. Shermie never gets married and becomes a strong independent young mother after being taken advantage of by a sleazy boyfriend in the '80s, and her daughter doesn't marry the father of Mabel and Dipper until after he graduates from college and gets a job to fully support her and the twins. But alas, it is conjecture. I don't know if Shermie has an official character page, but I'll look for it and the official gender.

I feel like if the Grunkles had more siblings, we would have heard at least a bit about them, especially if they were older and could have been some sort of role models for the boys. (I mean, I know it's dead but...)

In the journal page about Mabel, Ford writes Shermie's full name as Sherman, which is a boy's name, thus debunking your theory. Also, I just find it extremely hard to believe that Filbrick will want to have a baby since that would mean more expenses (something he clearly didn't want) and he didn't seem to like kids anyway. add that to the baby's, and it seems pretty much impossible that he or she are really Shermie. the most likely scenario seems to be that the baby is the twins' father.

now, I've seen two valid theories explaining Shermie's absence from ATOTS -

the first says that he fought in the Vietnam War, and you can find it here .

The second suggests that Shermie doesn't exists and that Stan is the twins' real grandpa. I know it sounds crazy but it has tons of evidence. you can find the main points here and here, but there is alot more in the g4g tag on tumblr.

Sorry for my poor English. I'm not fluent.

PS. It was cnnonicly stated multiple times' both in the sow and by the crew, that the show thakes place in 2012, so we can't get those extra few years.
