Led by parents Jim Bob and Michelle, the Duggars currently consists of 19 children, eight sons- and daughters-in-law, and 13 grandkids — and counting.

It can be challenging to keep track of everybody as the eldest Duggar children are growing up, getting hitched, and having children of their own. According to PEOPLE, here's a comprehensive guide to the famous family.

JIM BOB & MICHELLE

The couple tied the knot in July 1984. They waited four years to have their first child, Josh. Unfortunately, Michelle suffered a miscarriage after getting pregnant again.

Believing the miscarriage happened because she was taking birth control and didn't realize she was pregnant, Jim Bob and Michelle chose to let God “bless them with as many children as he saw fit.”
