Feodor
Vassilyev (1707-1782), was a peasant from Shuya, Russia. Though not
noteworthy himself, his first wife, Valentina Vassilyeva, set the record
for most children birthed by a single woman. She gave birth to total of
69 children; however, few other details are known of her life, such as
her date of birth or death. She gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets
of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets
between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 births. 67 of the 69 children
born survived infancy. The modern world record for giving birth is held
by Leontina Albina from San Antonio, Chile. Now in her mid-sixties, she
claims to be the mother of 64 children. Of these, 55 are documented. The
mother with the greatest number of kids that are not tiwns is Livia
Ionce. This Romanian woman, 44, gave birth to her 18th child in Canada
in 2008
