How wonderfully cool to see so many of the actual family members here in the comments! Welcome to all of you! I’d love to hear more about this family and what became of everyone.
Well, to put it simply: the entire family inhabits the conneticut and Vermont areas. I know that my Pepere was his gransson Clarence, and he literally lives fifteen minutes from me. At Fourth of July, as well as literally every other big holiday, the family will gather at one of the larger houses and spend the day together. Even the one group that doesn't live in the immediate area, living in North Caroline now, tend to make it up one or two times a year for this stuff. As for my great great Pepere (which is grandfather in french for those interested. Memere is grandmother.), he is sadly no longer with us. I never got to know him, but I'm happy to have something to remember him by. We also recently lost our great grandfather on my Memere's side, which was especially hard on my dad, and I consider myself lucky to have got to know a generation most my age wouldn't in this day in age. As for my Pepere, he and his brothers I've heard are actually largely responsible for building the area that they live around now. He also built the house he currently lives in, as well as the house that one of my aunts and uncles live in as well. Even with everything going on right now, we get to go and see them every week or so, just baring in my to keep our distance. In otherwords, that 27 and more are one gigantic loving family, and I couldn't be prouder of us all!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You are so sweet to do so. When you are able to get closer than 6 feet from each other again, please give everyone a hug for me. Sending one to you, you.
I've been looking for this for a while ever since my Memere told me about it. To clarify, this guy was my great great(?) grandfather. I'm a Cyr just like he is, and since this happened the entire family tree basically has basically inhabited the entirety of New England. I remember actually first seeing this video back a few years ago on a trip to New Jersey with my mom's side of the family. Honestly, I still think it's crazy that someone is able to have that many kids and been physically fine, but being potato farmers, I don't think it was hard getting back into shape.
So your great grandmother was in good physical shape? I'm still recovering from my third child 21 years later. Lol. I can only imagine having that many. I adore children, but that sounds like a logistical nightmare. I sure wish your family members could be interviewed. We're all curious to know so much more! Like where did they all sleep? How did they provide for them all? Were the children happy? So many questions. ❤
She was too busy taking care of far too many children than any one person could ever care for, of course. Sucks, but back then the husband got all the glory, the wife got all the work.
Can you imagine, all those babies. Raising them without a washing machine, stove and refrigerator. Remarkable as well, his oldest son has 7 children of his own.
They give him an electric washing machine, an electric oven & range and electric refrigerator but they didn't ask him the most important question: "Do you have electricity in your house?"
Priscilla Beaulieu Assuming she married at 18 and had her first baby at the age of 19 she had to be about 47 with her last pregnancy...? (I know a pregnancy lasts only 40 weeks but since breastfeeding accts a bit like a contraceptive it normally takes a few month to get pregnant again.) And how was it having 26 siblings?? I wonder how any of the normal procedures in a family can work with so many people: preparing and taking meals, getting ready in the morning, making lunches for the school, going anywhere like shopping, on a trip,on holidays? And who has the money to feed a family of 29 people?!? I would love to hear a bit about those things from you If you could.
This has got to be the only comment section on TH-cam with tons of people going “hey, we’re all related! Neat”. It’s so odd lol. Glad you all found each other 🤣
The 27th baby, Roger, was the last one. Roger was born in June 1959 in a hospital across the border in Maine. Heliodore Cyr died in February 1986 at the age of 80. I can't find an obit for Marie-Elise, who was born in 1912.
@@TennesseeMelanie that can’t be right because I was born in 1992 and I remember meeting her and singing some songs to her. Unfortunately I don’t remember what year she died but it wasn’t 1990.
To answer your concern, way back then, houses had cellar made of dirt, it kept all the fruits and vegetables for the year, there was wood burning stove, no need for electric appliances at that time. The washing machine were the old ones made with a roller and it was electric. No dryer, clothes were put to dry outside on a clothes line. The appliances were a gift from CBS and for sure the family was happy to have such a wonderful gifts. This family had their house full of food, never ran out of meat, vegetables etc. They were farmers with a large land. Each sibblings had their own job to do. At that time in life, living in the country was a blessing.
Congrats on the family reunion on this post!!!! Amazing family! I hope You keep in contact with the families. This reminds me of President Thomas Jefferson ! Children! Children! More Children! You are all very lucky!!!
Heliodore Cyr his wife was Marie-Elise Chamberland 19 of his 27 survived to adulthood they came from Saint-François-de-Madawaska (2011 pop.: 533) is a Canadian village in Madawaska County, New Brunswick whos current mayor is Gérard Cyr Cy
Wow, incredible to see people related to the guests in this very comment section, all this time later, watching their relatives on these under-appreciated shows! Greetings to all from Pennsylvania.
I just read the span of years during which his children were born: 1937-1960. My mother was born the same year as his eldest child and I was born only eight years after his youngest.
Well, if he didn't have a regular stove and didn't have a refrigerator, did they have elecricity in the house, or were these appliances going to be all for nothing if they didn't have electricity in the house?
Jeanne Hall I know right? I agree with you. The duggars are nothing compared to this family and there was another episode with a family with 20 children. It was so different back then. Things may have seemed harder but they all seemed happy, healthy and not wanting of anything. 😊
My concern about giving him the electric appliances is wondering if his home is so rural it does not have electricity yet, OR if with all the children they will be able to afford the electric bill's increased overhead. Hope it worked out ok
I have Cyr name in my family tree. I’m a d’Entremont. Anyone have that name in their tree? Canada paid citizens to have children. Many people had huge families for this reason.
Yeah, I'd agree with you there, a big part of doing the laundry is owning a washing machine. Please buy appliances first before you have your first kid.

I'm glad for the appliances, but wish there had been a dryer, too. Poor lady dealing with all those kids with no appliances! Hope the gifts made life a little easier for her.
Many of us back then hung our laundry outside to dry. Dryers weren't real common at that time. My mother never wanted an electric dryer. She didn't like them, she preferred our clothes to be dried out in the fresh air. No static cling. They smelled great without dryer sheets.
Would you believe some of us grew up in the 21st century without dryers and were absolutely fine? Because in civilised countries it's not embarrassing to hang your washing out, and the clothes dry much nicer too.
