A Genealogist's Nightmare

Post by louis »

Stumbled upon this newspaper article from the Carlisle Journal, 6th February, 1802, just had to share. :)

At woman died lately at Rheims, in Germany, at the age of 102, having had 19 husbands, and bred up 27 children; she was attended to the grave by 153 sons, grandsons, and great grandsons: many of the former going upon crutches, or led along blind, or borne down with age. She had herself eight brothers and fourteen sisters, all of whom made good use of their time; so that the old woman was aunt to upwards of 1000 people. :shock: :lol:
