Are you interested in your family history? Here is some information about my own family. I left LAST NAMES out, for sake of privacy:
My Maternal Great Grandparents, Anton and Lucy Belle had 15 children! Esther, Wesley, Richard, Theodore, Harold, Mary (my maternal grandma), Lucy, Lena, Lawrence, Roger, Betty, Ethel, Joann, Joyce, and Rita!
My Maternal Grandparents, Theodore and Mary, had 6 children: Chris, Cindy (my mom), Carol, Teddy, Mary Ellen, and Colleen.
My Parents, Greg and Cindy, had 5 children. Shanda (that’s me!), David, Amanda, Nathan, and Isaac.
And I, with my husband, Rich, have 5 children. Jacob, Ethan, Grace, David, and Caleb.
I’m in a family history mood! 
PS, I’ll have to do my Paternal side later. . . . . .
Good to be Home 
That’s interesting! You have a huge family! I guess no one blinks an eye that you have five kids.
Great grandparents had 16 children- the other one is Patty. Of course that is only the direct line – there are a total of 15 Grandchildren of Ted and Mary and 7 great-grandchildren (soon to be 10-there are 3 more on the way)
Needless to say holidays were always noisy around our house.
Geat job! ;-0
Oh for goodness sakes! I can’t believe I left one out! Sorry Patty! Thanks for the input, Aunt Col. I never heard of Lucy (daughter of Lucy and Anton), did she die young?I just discovered info on Anton and Lucy Belle’s marriage record. I’ll email you. . . . .
Yes she was actually the first born and died of an illness when she was only like 2 or 3 yrs old. Uncle Ted was the only one who remembered anything about her.
Maybe this is why, since Lucy died as a child, I had the #15 stuck in my head, from pictures and stuff. . . . .
I noticed the families got smaller each generation; perhaps you’d like to reverse the trend?
*wink, nudge!*
oops, was purple hubby listening?!!
I love genealogy! have you ever researched further back? I have several lines in my family researched back to the 1600’s and beyond!! (fun, fun!)
