How the heck do they keep track of all of those kids?? Names, faces, birth dates, etc. It sounds exhausting!

The first thing that I thought about when I read the title was all of those entitled, spoiled adults who believe that every grandparent should provide free, full time plus date night child care for their grandchildren. Obviously, it would not work out in this situation. LOL

It does seem like a very loving, close knit family. But, 100 grand and great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren! Wow, just wow!

I knew a couple with 17 children and even they did not have that many grandchildren and great-grandchildren before they passed away. In fact, several of their children did not have any children at all.

My grandfather was born into a mega-family. When I was young, everyone who could come gathered at my g-grandparents' farm for Christmas. While we weren't as huge as the family featured in the link, it was still a massive gathering. It was also a blended family, so family reunions that involved all the extended relatives were held at a local retreat, where families stayed in cabins. I attended only a couple of times, but I remember it being great fun.
