Morning, Stuart!! Not considered a deserter, he was in his sixties when he took his family to the U.S. (circa 1925) My grandmother was 60 when my mother (the last of 12 children) was born!

Thanks, Fern. Sun is now trying to break through. I'll take advantage and walk the dog to our favorite place on the Connecticut River. (Wish I could post a picture.)
Lordy, my Mom was 46 when youngest bro was born (8th). hadnтАЩt heard of older woman giving birth, but never checked it out. Just in awe of my strong mother.
My girlfrirnd was born into a family of 8 kidsтАж3 sets of twins! She was a twin, one singular gitl, 2 sets of boy twins, and then 1 singular boy. Her mom was also 42 at the time of last child and my girlfriend was 17. She felt like she was his mom.
See my comment above, and let me know how old your mother lived to be, or if she is still alive? I've known one woman in my own age bracket who had a child at that age without medical help.
That's fascinating about your grandmother's age when your mother was born. Statistically, women who have children at age 40 or beyond live longer than others. How old did your grandmother live to be?
My mother had 8 children, with the last one at 40. She just passed on 1/4/22, 6 weeks before her 100th birthday. She also took up running and long-distance bicycling in her 50s. She rode 40,000+ miles before stopping at 84.
Alas, she died at 68. But one big claim to fame for her was that she was pregnant during the voyage to the States, giving birth to my mother a mere month after landing on these shores.
Among the first cohort of women born on Pitcairn Island--children of the Bounty mutineers--three of them, out of between 15 and 18 (can't remember the precise number),three had their last children beyond age 40, at least one at age 44

Good genes, big family, brave and strong! The sun just broke through here in NYC, Lynell. Let's prepare for the day. Good morning, friend.
Morning Fern, suns shining here in Paris.
Good morning, Stuart. Truly, good here on the forum today with Allen's face on it, aye!
A thousand times yes...Morning, Fern!

It will get to you. If not today, perhaps, tomorrow. Here's some, until then ЁЯМЮтЭдя╕ПтШАя╕П

My Mom....42 when she had #14....I am #1 and was 19yrs old when she had my bro Joe. Strong women indeed!!!! All single births.

Here's to your MOM and all her children!тЭдя╕ПЁЯМЮтЭдя╕П
Yikes, 14!
At 46, being in awe is very appropriate, I'd say, Jeri.

My Mom was 40 when my sister was born (36 with me) and died at 82 in spite of being a lifetime smoker.
Brave, strong woman.
Indeed!
I love that you all met via HCRтАжa world away, brought together on a mission тЭдя╕П
Good Morning тШАя╕П
Love your "profile" handshake, Kari...Morning!
Thanks, Lynell! It was drawn by my granddaughter ЁЯТЭ

How fabulous! Hope you are doing ok!
Your mother is a major inspiration! Hearing about her long life and athletic achievements after starting in mid life makes my day!
I was 42 when I had my one and only! I hope you are right ЁЯШМ
Wow, morning, Cynthia. I am in awe of you!
xxxx.
Nothing awesome... just very lucky тЭдя╕П

CanтАЩt тЭдя╕Пthis, Lynell but had she not had your mom, we mightтАЩve not had the pleasure of your company. So I тЭдя╕П you again!!
My goodness, thank you, Marlene! I тЭд "thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach," truly.
Oh Lynell, I am sorry..ЁЯШв

I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh my God! Bless everyone in your incredible family тЭдя╕ПтЭдя╕ПтЭдя╕П
