This are the list of people who are known to have parented the most children.


Female

This section lists Top Twelve women who gave birth to the most children, some of them having been recorded prior to 19th century.

1. Mrs. and Mr. Vassilyev (1st wife), Children-69
Vassilyev and his first wife, Valentina Vassilyeva, hold the record for the most children a couple has parented. She gave birth to a total of 69 children – sixteen pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets – between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 births. 67 of the 69 children born were said to have survived infancy.(Vassilyev also had six sets of twins and two sets of triplets with a second wife, for another 18 children in eight births; he fathered a total of 87 children.)

2. Mr. and Mrs. Gravata, Children-62
A Tuscan woman named Gravata gave birth to a total of 62 live children.

3. Mrs. and Mr. Yakov Kirillov, Children-57
The first wife of peasant Yakov Kirillov from the village of Vvedensky, Russia, gave birth to 57 children in a total of 21 births. She had four sets of quadruplets, seven sets of triplets and ten sets of twins. All of the children were alive in 1755, when Kirillov, aged 60, was presented at Court.
As with the Vassilyev case, the truth of these claims has not been established, and is highly improbable.

4. Barbara and Adam Stratzmann, Children-53
It is claimed that Barbara Stratzmann (c. 1448 – 1503) of
Bönnigheim , Germany, gave birth to 53 children (38 sons and 15 daughters) in a total of 29 births by 1498. She had one set of septuplets, one set of sextuplets, four sets of triplets and five sets of twins. Nineteen of the children were stillborn, the eldest surviving was eight years old in 1498. As with the Vassilyev and Kirillov cases above, the survival of any one of the offspring of the alleged multiple births is questionable, as is the likelihood of so many multiple births in an era before fertility drugs.

5. Maddalena Granata,Children-52
Maddalena Granata (born 1839) of the City of Nocera, Italy, who married at age 28, had given birth to 52 living and dead children, 49 being males, by 1886. Dr. de Sanctis, of Nocera, stated that she had 15 sets of triplets.

8. Elizabeth and William Greenhill, Children-39
Thomas Greenhill was the last child of 39 by his mother Elizabeth (1615–1681) and William Greenhill.The family consisted of 7 sons and 32 daughters. Not only is this a large number of live newborns but unusual in that all but one pair of twins were single births.
