The largest number of twins born to one woman. Childbearing record

So much so that no one can still beat him. The woman gave birth to sixty-nine children - 69!

Only two babies died in childbirth. The Russian record holder had sixteen twins, seven triplets and four times four twins. And all this for twenty-seven genera over thirty years. After the death of his wife, Fyodor Vasiliev found new wife- a potential mother. The second wife gave the restless peasant eighteen more children. By the way, even after that, Fedor Vasiliev did not break the Guinness record for the birth of children as father of many children... The Guinness Book of Records recorded a staggering number of children from the same father. The most prolific pope is a Moroccan ruler who lived in the first half of the eighteenth century. He helped to give birth to three hundred forty-two girls and seven hundred boys. But the results of our contemporaries are not so impressive. There is now a woman living in Chile who has set the Guinness record for having children in the twenty-first century. Leontina Albina gave birth to fifty-five children. In total, she spent about forty years "on maternity leave". The first five times a woman gave birth exclusively to triplets. Moreover, only boys were born in threes.

Descendant of Fyodor Vasiliev found in Introduction

The MC correspondent got access to documents shedding light on the family secrets of the Shuyanin - the father of 86 children, the Guinness book record holder.

Let us remind our readers that Fyodor Vasiliev, a peasant in the Shuisky district, who was nominated by the MC editorial board as a contender for the title of “Shuya's Name” in 2010, became famous for being the father of 86 children. For comparison, the Sultan of Morocco Moulay Ismail, who lived in the 18th century, had 700 sons and 342 daughters. Only he had not two wives, like the Shuya record holder, but a whole harem. That is why the name of Fyodor Vasilyev was officially entered into the Guinness Book of Records, and hardly anyone in the world will be able to move a man from Shuisky district from this pedestal. Our newspaper dedicated many publications to Fyodor Vasiliev, proving that this person is worthy of installing at least some kind of memorable sign in his small homeland. However, we must admit that we were embarrassed by the fact that there were too many dark, insufficiently understandable pages in the history of the Shuya record holder. And we dared not even dream of finding the descendants of a father with many children. And now, finally, we bring to the judgment of our readers what we managed to dig up in the archives and publications of the past, literally bit by bit. Finally, it turned out to dock the documents that shed light on the history of the Vasiliev family. But let's talk about everything in order, interspersing the previously known information, with the information received by the correspondent of "MS" recently.

Who is Fedor Vasiliev?

Fyodor Vasiliev (1704-1790) was born into the family of a monastery serf peasant and himself was the same serf assigned to the Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery. He lived in the village of Vvedenskoye (now Vvedenyo), and during the period of church reforms of Catherine the Great he was transferred to the category of "state" peasants and moved to the Kufrino farm, which was located just a few sazhens from the village of Zheltonosovo, in early XVIII century territorially part of the Shuisky district (now it is the Ivanovsky district). The name of Fedor's first wife, who gave birth to 69 children, is not mentioned in history. But the second wife Anna, who gave him 17 children, was from the village of Melnichnoye.

By the way, Vasiliev is not a surname. The peasants in Russia did not have surnames. This only meant the abbreviated form of his patronymic, that is, the name of his father. Fedor's son Alexey was already called Fedorov, Fedor's grandson Yegor - Alekseev, and so on.

Generic record holder

It was very difficult to feed such a large crowd of children. Children were given to be raised in childless and small families. So, one of the sons of Fyodor Vasilyev - Alexei Fyodorov - was transferred to the village of Teplintsevo to the serf peasant landowner A.G. Plautina. In this village, Alexei grew up, got married, got a house, gave birth to children of Yegor, Stepan, Vasily. Aleksey's grandchildren were born, raised, and had families here: Fedor, Ivan, Vasily, Flor. Grandson Vasily married a Zakharya peasant woman Marya Antonova and moved to live in his father-in-law's house. In Zakharya, the sons of Vasily - Photius and Nikifor - were born, raised and had families. Their cousin Yakov, who lived in Teplintsevo, took the name Florov in honor of his father. Ivan and Vasily received the surname Yegorov in honor of their father Yegor. And Fedor generally took the incomprehensible (at least to us) surname Parukhin. From the village of Teplintsevo, the descendants of Fyodor Vasilyev - free peasants - fled. Zakhar Parukhin, enlisted in the ranks of the bourgeoisie, took up trade in the city of Kokhma. The old people died, the young ones left, their trail was lost. The children of Photius and Nikifor Vasiliev also left the village of Zakharyino. However, at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, Yegor Fotievich, Pyotr Fotievich, Fedor Nikiforov and his brothers Mikhail, Pyotr, Dimitri, Maxim returned to their native lands.

So numerous offspring of those Florovs, Vasilievs, Egorovs, Parukhins live in this world, not realizing that their ancestor is the legendary Fyodor Vasiliev.

How memory faded and revived

The peasants are not noblemen, they did not carry out "knee paintings". But according to ancient traditions, they honored their father and mother, remembered a little about their grandfather and knew practically nothing about their great-grandfather. Gradually, in the 4-5th generations, the memory of the ancestor Fyodor Vasiliev began to fade. The involuntary culprit of this was Alexei, the son of Fyodor, who is brought up by foster parents, who considered him his own son and hid his true origin from him.

A woman from Russia gave birth to 69 children - a world record

The family legend about the "heroine mother" could not be actively passed on from one generation to another.

The revival of the memory of Fyodor Vasiliev began with the history teacher of the Zakharya school of local lore A. Dolgov, who caught the eye of A. Shirokogorov's notes from 1870, telling about a large family Fyodor Vasiliev. It was the son of the parish priest of the Vvedenskaya Church, Father Vasily, the seminarian Sasha Shirokogorov who outlined the initial contours of the family tree of the Vasilyev family. He used the archives of the Vvedenskaya Church and the Nikolo-Shartomsky Monastery. Original version family tree The Vasilievs were refined by the history teacher of the Zakharya school A. Dolgov.

The editors express their gratitude to Valentina Vasilyeva, a native of the village of Zheltonosovo, now living in the village. Introduction, 7th generation descendant of Fyodor Vasiliev, for help in writing this article.

Two years later, thanks to the efforts of doctors from the Medical University of California, local resident Arseli Keh also gave birth to a son after a very long course of treatment for infertility.

    The total fertility rate, or TFR, is a statistic that characterizes the average number of births one woman has in a hypothetical generation over her entire life. Since 1950, the TFR has steadily decreased. In the United States, for example, the TFR in 1950 was 4.95 children per mother. This statistic has consistently decreased over the past years and in 2010 the TFR in the United States is approximately 2.36, i.e. over sixty years, there has been a decrease in this indicator by two children per mother.

    However, throughout history there have been many women who have given birth to significantly more children than the statistical average. You have no idea what is meant by the word "significantly". Unfortunately, the stories of the mothers who were said to have given birth to an incredible number of children are rather difficult to verify, the only evidence remaining to this day are journal entries and old gravestones. However, the little that is known about these mothers today is simply breathtaking.

    Here are ten mothers who, according to historical records, gave birth to the largest number of children.

    10. Mary Jonas (33 children).

    In the 19th century, a furniture merchant named Mary Jonas lived in Foregate Street, Chester, England. When she died, in 1899, at the age of 85, she was buried next to her husband, John Jonas. Their gravestone at Overleigh Cemetery in Chester, England, contains an interesting inscription. The engraving reads:

    Here rest John Jonas, who died on February 24, 1892, at the age of 78, and Mary Jonas, the beloved wife of the aforementioned and mother of 33 children, who died on December 4, 1899, at the age of 85.

    Of the 33 children of Mary and John, 30 were twins (15 pairs), and each pair of twins consisted of a boy and a girl. In addition, all of Mary and John's children were born alive and well, but most of them died before they became adults. However, ten children were still alive when their father died in 1892. Another interesting fact about family - that the popular magazine of their time Tit-Bits ran a competition, promising a lifetime subscription to the woman who "will do the most to increase the population of the Empire." Ms Jonas won the competition posthumously.

    9. Ms. Harrison (35 children).

    1736: Mrs. Harrison, wife of Mr. Harrison, a Wehr Street entrepreneur, gives birth to her 35th child with the same husband.

    Nothing else is known about this pair.

    8. Elizabeth Greenhill (39 children).

    Most mothers with many children have had multiple pregnancies. However, Elizabeth Greenhill of Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire gave birth to 39 children with only one multiple birth. This story was recorded in the book The Art of Embalming by Thomas Greenhill, thanks to which we know this fact. The entry in the book reads:

    She had 39 children from one husband. They were all born alive and were all from same-sex pregnancies. Last child, who was born after his father's death, worked as a surgeon in King Street, Bloomsbury, and wrote this book. She said that if her husband were alive, she might have two or three more children.

    7. Alice Hukes (41 children).

    Alice Hookes Gwyneta from North Wales made this list based on the entry on her gravestone found in the Conway Church cemetery. The inscription on it states that Nicholas Hookes, who died in 1637, was the 41st child of his mother, Alice. Unfortunately, there is no further information about Alice's other children.

    6. Elizabeth Mott (42 children).

    The release of the 1988 Guinness Book of Records names the British record holder with the largest number of children, Elizabeth Mott. In 1676, Elizabeth and John Mott of Monks Kirby in northeastern Warwickshire were married and reportedly had 42 children. Elizabeth died in 1720.

    5. Maddalena Granata (52 children).

    In Nocera, Italy, a woman named Maddalena Granata was reported to have given birth to a total of 52 children. This was recorded by a Xaples correspondent in the Paris Magazine, where the following was written:

    About two or three stations from Pompeii, in the city of Nocera, lives Maddalena Granata, forty-seven years old, who married at twenty-eight and gave birth to 52 living and dead children, 49 of them were boys. Dr. de Sanctis of Nocera states that she has had triplets 15 times.

    4. Barbara Shtratsman (53 children).

    Lived from 1448 to 1503, during the Holy Roman Empire, Barbara Strazmann of Bönnigheim (today part of Germany) was reported to have given birth to 53 children, although almost none of them survived infancy. Barbara and her husband Adam Strazmann were said to have had one pregnancy in seven, one in six, four triplets, five twins, and eighteen singleton pregnancies. Of these children, it is estimated that nineteen were born dead, and by 1498 the oldest surviving child was eight years old.

    An unusually high number of births were recorded in painting by the Protestant artist Kiriekaskirch of Bönnigheim. In the work, Kiriekaskirch portrayed Barbara and Adam with their 53 children in a stable in Bethlehem. However, in 1990, the chief physician of Heilbronn, Municipal Women's Clinic, questioned this story, pointing out the fact that Barbara's multiple births were statistically improbable and that a woman at that time could hardly have survived multiple pregnancies due to the quality of medicine at the time.

    3. Leontina Albina (55 children).

    The release of the Guinness Book of World Records in 1988 reports that the most fertile mother in the world at the time was Leontina Albina (née Espinoza) from San Antonio, Chile, wife of Gerardo Secunda Albina. Leontina and Gerardo, born in 1925 and 1921 respectively, were married in Argentina in 1943. According to Gerardo, before moving to Chile, his wife gave birth to five triplets (all boys). Then in Chile, the number of children for the couple steadily increased until 1981, when 55-year-old Leontina gave birth to her 55th child. There is unverified evidence that the couple had nine more children after that, making their total 64. If Leontina's 1986 birth were officially confirmed, it would make her the oldest "young" mom in the world. Unfortunately for the couple, eleven of their children died in the earthquake, and by 1988 only 40 (24 boys and 16 girls) were alive. And most importantly, I wonder if you want to buy toys, how much money do you need to spend on it? The only plus is that the toys are passed from the eldest to the youngest. But do not forget that new toys are also needed, and the more children, the more money is spent on them.

    2. The wife of Yakov Kirillov (57 children).

    In 1775, 60-year-old Yakov Kirillov from the village of Vvedenskoye, Russia, was presented to the royal court in recognition of his successful paternity. The peasant farmer had 15 of his children, whom his second wife gave birth to, and all 57 children, whom his first wife gave birth to. The first wife, whose name was not recorded, gave birth to 57 children as a result of 21 births: four pregnancies with four, seven triplets and ten twins. Unfortunately, the fact that Kirillov's wife actually gave birth to 57 children cannot be verified, so there are doubts about the veracity of this statement.

    1. The first wife of Fyodor Vasiliev (69 children).

    Fyodor Vasiliev, who lived from 1707 to 1782, was a peasant from the city of Shuya, Russia. The name of his first wife was not registered, but according to the records of the Nikolsky Monastery, this woman gave birth to four children four times, seven triplets and sixteen twins as a result of 27 births in the monastery. A total of 69 children were born to one woman, and according to records, only two of the children did not survive infancy. It is even more surprising that Vasiliev married again, and his second wife gave birth to two triplets and six twins, that is, a total of 18 children as a result of 8 births. In total, the man had 87 children. There are doubts about the veracity of this statement; nevertheless, the Guinness Book of Records names Vasiliev's wife and her 69 children the official record holder for the most productive mother of all time.

    And the fact that we are in first and second place instills confidence in our nation. Women, of course, we have uh ...;)

    The identical 14-year-old twins were born in a quartet: Megan, Sarah, Kendra and Callie Durst became famous at the age of 6, and are now filming a reality show about their lives.
    As of 2005, 15 identical quadruplets were born in the world, 10 of them are sisters, but there are much more non-identical “fours”. According to statistics, one quadruple falls for 700 thousand pregnancies.

    The most famous, first and only case of the birth of five identical twins is the Canadian Dionne family. The girls were born in 1934 and for many years were a landmark of the province of Ontario, and according to the twins themselves, their fate was not enviable.

    In 2013, five were born in Salt Lake City - 3 girls and 2 boys. It is noteworthy that the pregnancy came naturally.

    Last year, 2016, Oksana Kobeletskaya, a 37-year-old woman from Odessa, gave birth to five, although the couple were expecting twins.

    Nkem Chukwu from Texas in December 1998 gave birth to eight at once. Moreover, on December 8 she gave birth to a girl, and on the 20th - 5 more girls and two boys (one of the babies died shortly after giving birth).

    In 2009, 33-year-old Nadi Suliman gave birth to eight twins at once - two girls and six boys. All children are alive and well, and this is the only case of the birth of eight, where all survived.

    Nines were born in 1971, 1972, 1976, 1977, 1979 and 1999, however, unfortunately, none of these 54 children survived

    Ten children - until today it was considered the largest number of children born from one pregnancy. In 1946, 8 girls and 2 boys were born in Brazil; there are also known cases of the birth of such a number of children in China in 1936 and in Spain in 1924. There is no information about whether the children survived.

    A 42-year-old resident of the Indian city of Riley Maria Fernandez in 37 minutes, naturally, gave birth to 11 children. All are perfectly healthy boys, six of whom are identical twins. This phenomenon is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Thus, today 11 children born from one pregnancy is an absolute record.
