However, the family has so many members that almost nobody can identify all of the 19 children. Worse, some of them have already gotten married and welcomed children, which makes the task even harder.

Thankfully, here’s a detailed Duggar family tree to help fans to stay tuned with Jim Bob and Michelle’s children and grandchildren.

JIM BOB AND MICHELLE DUGGAR

Jim Bob, the patriarch of one of the most famous families in the US, was born July 18, 1965. Michelle, whose maiden name is Ruark, was born on September 13, 1966.

The couple tied the knot on July 21, 1984, and started having children four years later. Due to their religion, which states that children are a gift from God, they decided to leave that aspect of their lives to Him and not to take birth control pills.

At the moment, they have 19 children. One of the most striking aspects of their youngest daughter, Josie, is that she is two months younger than Mackynzie Renee Duggar, Jim Bob and Michelle’s first grandchild.

Her followers linked her to NFL star Tim Tebow in 2014, which seemed logical as Tim’s family is very religious. However, their alleged relationship was nothing but rumors. Due to Jana’s romantic life, people have questioned her sexuality even asking if she and Laura DeMasie, who has appeared on TV with her plenty of times, were dating.

"No. And I would like to stop that rumor. I have no interest in girls that way whatsoever. I have 'courted' or 'dated' a few guys, but so far nothing has gone into a serious relationship," pointed out Jana

Instead, her daughter Felicity was born on July 19, 2018, almost two years after the wedding. Jinger has been in the eye of the storm several times due to the clothes that she wears (shorts and pants) as people consider it is a violation of her father’s rules.

The truth is that, once Jinger married Jeremy and left her parents’ home, Jeremy became the only person in charge of the rules, including the ones involving her clothes.

JEREMIAH ROBERT DUGGAR

Just like his twin brother, Jeremiah Duggar was born on December 30, 1998. He has not married anyone and has not officially started courting either. Some fans believe that he and one of Abbie Duggar’s sisters might be getting ready to do so.

In a photo that his brother John David uploaded to Instagram, he appeared next to the now-married couple and some of her sisters.

Since he probably was not the chaperone during that date because Abbie’s siblings were there, fans theorized that Jeremiah was there because he was courting one of the ladies, too. The family has not confirmed that relationship, though.
