Very Productive: Grandma has 1400 descendants at the time of her death

Rachel and Yitsik Kreshevsky, of the Orthodox Haredi community in Jeruselem, were married when Rachel was 19, and produced 7 sons and 4 daughters. Their kids, in turn, got busy and made 150 grandchildren, who in turn got busier and made a thousand great grandchildren. With the appearance of a few hundred great great grandchildren, the total number of progeny from this couple surpassed 1400 by the time of Rachel’s death at age 99. Rachel was recognized in the community as a God fearing woman, with devotion to helping the unfortunate, and with, what was necessarily encyclopedic knowledge of her family relations.

Hats off to this whole family for their productivity!
