Trivia for the Day

I came across this interesting fact recently: according to the 1988 Guiness Book of World Records, the woman who at that time held the world record for producing the most surviving children was a Russian peasant woman. The question for you: how many children did she produce? Leave a comment with your guess.

Hint #1: She had some multiple births.

Hint #2: She bore children over a 40 year period (that is almost unbelievable to me!).

Take a guess! Answer tomorrow! And no fair looking it up online!

I know the Duggar Family has 17 children (and they are a family that has been on TV, and they fearlessly talk about the gospel). You can see them at the Duggar Family Website. I hope that link works in a blog comment.

So if Mrs. Duggar had 17 children in 23 years, I'll guess that perhaps another 10, so perhaps 27?
