Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar‘s family originally shot to stardom with their very first TV special, 14 Children and Expecting Again!, sharing their oversized family with the world, but it’s gotten much bigger since then. The couple would go on to have 19 children, and now, many of those children have had children, leaving the Duggars with so many grandchildren that it can all get pretty confusing. But thanks to a fan on Reddit, there’s an infographic that clears it all up for us. This chart is fascinating.

The chart was recently shared on Reddit.
Structured like a family tree of “Granddugglets” – aka Duggar grandchildren – the graphic was shared on a popular Duggar-related subreddit. All of Jim Bob and Michelle’s children are listed here with their children below. But the chart has much more information than that; it also shows babies who are confirmed to be on the way in italics, miscarriages, and speculated pregnancies. This is very thorough!
The chart shows just how quickly this family is growing.
As one person pointed out in a comment, if you discount the years that oldest son Josh was the only member of the family who was married and having children with wife Anna, since 2015, the family has welcomed a whopping 30 grandchildren. On average, that’s three new grandchildren a year every year for nearly a decade. How does anyone in the family possibly keep up?!
Some fans used the chart to make predictions.
Currently, Josh and Anna have the biggest brood with seven children, but it’s likely that their family is complete, given that Josh will be behind bars for years. Who might surpass them and end up with the largest family of all of the Duggar kids? One commenter believes that it’s between two of the couples in particular: Joseph and Kendra (who have four children) and Katey and Jedediah (who have two children with twins on the way).
“Kendra and Katey are in a race to see who can catch up to Jessa and Anna. I will be surprised if any of these couples surpass 10 kids total though,” the commenter wrote. “All the kids seem more modernized and have slightly more common sense [than Jim Bob and Michelle]. Joy Anna is very obviously using some sort of birth control having and so are [Abby] and John unless there is quiet infertility going on they don’t talk about.”
One fan made a prediction about who will announce a pregnancy next.
So far, only three of the married Duggar couples don’t have children: Jana and Stephen, Justin and Claire, and Jason and Maddie.
“I’m thinking an announcement from Jana is coming soon for a new addition,” one person wrote. Others are hoping that’s not the case, though, judging by this reply: “She has raised so many babies, she needs a break for a while. Enjoy married life as a couple for a few years without pregnancy messing all that up.”

This year is going to be a big one in the grandchildren department.
So far, we know that Jinger and Hannah are both expecting their third child, while Katey is due with twins very soon – and there’s still plenty of time for more pregnancy announcements to come.
Who’s going to be next?
