    Yeah it’s not even so much how many children she has here (even though that’s an issue all on it’s own obviously), it’s how close they are in age.

    • kind of both Irish twins are not rare among every society, but having to move my mouse pointer to count so many children so close together it.

      Although I am willing to bet a photo with cousins too rather than just one set of siblings. because I don’t want to belief that said family is even possible.

          While doing genealogy research I found it quite common in rural norway in the 18th and 19th century for women to have a child every two years until their early to mid fifties. Sometimes they’d have as many as 18 children.
