This is unbelievable and I would not have believed it if it was not sourced in Guinness. That was one very busy couple in the bedroom. 67 of the 69 children born were said to have survived infancy. My hats off to Mrs. and Mr. Feodor Vassilyev for the ability to manage a family this large. There are some small villages who have less people.

 Mr. Vassilyev also had 18 children with his second wife, who had 6 pairs of twins and 2 sets of triplets, making him a father of 87 children in total. That is one fertile man who matched up with equally fertile women.

 WOW!
