[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 548010, member: 1514"] Well I cant even imagine a family that large but I know years ago when it was customary for families to have very large families because they needed the kids to help work the family farms. Tony's grandmother was one of 23 kids but that was from 2 different mothers. One father. Sadie was the youngest child. Trust me, some of the names were wild. One was simply Boy. However this was in the very rural south with Lumbee Indians who were very poor people who were farming tobacco and family plots of food to survive each year. Tony's mother actually actually gave birth to 8 kids and only 5 survived. They took Buck in but he was never formally adopted. My father was in a family of 6 kids but they were Catholic. I think there were more kids but she lost some too. This was back in the 1920s. [/QUOTE]
