The only problem would be documentation--which should be no problem at all for an able genealogist like yourself.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01386406270744275223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13196976.post-1157785219855472072006-09-09T03:00:00.000-04:002006-09-09T03:00:00.000-04:002006-09-09T03:00:00.000-04:00I'm pretty sure that my 3gg father, Benjamin Thomas Trotter Mitchell, didn't set any record, but was quite a bit more prolific than anyone you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>He had 7 wives (two who died after only having two children), 47 children, and 255 grandchildren. So far, I have traced over 13,000 descendants of this man who was born in 1816.<BR/><BR/>(Yes, he was a Mormon polygamist.)<BR/><BR/>Even Warren Jeffs, who was recently apprehended by the FBI, was one of 65 children of Rulon Jeffs.Andy E.
