The Complete Duggar Family Tree
The supersized Duggar family spent more than a decade on television. TLC cameras were around to capture several Duggar kids’ births. The cameras recorded the arrival of plenty of the next generation, too. The family, now marred in controversy, just keeps growing. We’ve compiled a complete (for now) Duggar family tree.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are parents to 19 children
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the Duggar couple who started it all, came from fairly average-sized families. He has one sibling, Deanna Duggar. Michelle, whose maiden name is Ruark, was the youngest of seven.

Jim Bob and Michelle married in 1984. She was just 17; he was 19. They didn’t start having children immediately, though. The couple’s first son was born four years after their tied the knot. Following the birth of their first set of twins, they made the decision to stick to only names that start with J.
Joshua Duggar (born in 1988) was followed by a set of twins, John-David and Jana (born in 1990). Jill Duggar (born in 1991), Jessa Duggar (born in 1992), and Jinger Duggar (born in 1993) joined the Duggar family in quick succession. Between 1995 and 1998, five more children were born. Joseph Duggar (born in 1995) broke the girl streak. He was followed by Josiah Duggar (born in 1996), Joy-Anna Duggar (born in 1997), and the Duggar family’s second set of twins, Jedidiah and Jeremiah Duggar (born in 1998). Jason (born in 2000), James (born in 2001), and Justin Duggar (born in 2002) followed.
