An Illinois couple are celebrating the birth of their 100th grandchild.
Leo and Ruth Zanger have 53 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. The birth of great-grandson Jaxton Leo on April 8 made the number 100.
Leo Zanger tells The Quincy Herald-Whig that "the good Lord has just kept sending them".
He says his family "could start our own town".
Ruth Zanger says "there's always room for one more".
The Zangers have been married 59 years and have 12 children. The youngest, 31-year-old Joe, was already an uncle 10 times when he was born.
When the family gets together, they rent a church hall. It takes 10 turkeys to feed everyone.
