A lot of people dream of having a big family and consider it a major achievement to be able to have one. The Zanger family from Chicago had similar hopes and seeing the size of their brood, the family has truly gone above and beyond! Let’s look over the big family and their latest major achievement! Leo and Ruth Zanger are doting grandparents, to not just a few but 100 grandchildren! They recently celebrated the birth of Jaxton Leo, their 46th great-grandchild, and 100th grandchild in total! The newest addition to the clan was made by their grandson Austin and his wife Ashleigh.

While the family is huge, it is still very much close-knit. In fact, most of them live near one another in the Quincy, Illinois area and make sure to gather together on special occasions throughout the year. Whenever everyone gathers together, it is a big event. They have to rent out the hall at the local church and order ten turkeys or about fifty pounds of ham to feed everyone!The family gatherings are done very efficiently, everyone knows what they are in charge of and they always go off without a hitch. The family makes sure everyone takes turns in supplying the food, and of course, everyone during their turn tries to outdo one another as well! Perhaps when Ruth and Leo wed they had no idea their family would grow quite so big!
