Grandchildren?

Prime embarrassment material for little Michael, though. lol

And no weird spellings!

logan and dylan are old names there irish...just because they became poplur in the usa through pop culture doesn't mean they are new

The same thing will happen to all of the little Dylans, Logans, Jaydens and Hunters of today in about sixty or seventy years.

The good old days when parents gave their children decent and normal first names!

@@zdelany6963 I thought Dylan was welsh. The writer Dylan Thomas, of Under Milkwood for example.

Their prizes were unusually good and helpful.

They were a tremendous help to my grandmother & co. The family was far from wealthy.

I think it was past Mike's bedtime.

@@denisenilsson1366 It was, and they'd had a long day of waiting, rehearsing, etc. It was way past 2-year-old Uncle Mike's bedtime. He detested this memory actually, because of the host picking on him when he was a tired baby.

Garry said that they got diapers from a diaper service. Garry should have said they got diaper service. They got cartons, not packs, of cigarettes.

My grandfather, these boys' father, knew they were part of the prize so in case they won he switched from his lifelong... Chesterfields, maybe? to Winstons a week before the show to get used to them. Stuck to them from then on

She gets a lots of exercise running after all those boys☺️

@@RookinherRookery So that would mean one of these boys is either your dad or all these kids are your uncles and aunt.

Uh-huh. Jim, the eldest, is my dad.

She had a good girdle

She was probably very slim on her wedding day. 💖

Definitely not our Bob though 🤣

Thankfully🎈☺️☺️

The baby clothes and diaper service is great though💖

I'm sad to say Uncle Mike died a few years ago. He was fantastic.

@@RookinherRookery How do you know? And if you know, why not share that information? We'd all like to how how they all are.

@@lisahinton9682 what do you mean how do they know? Look at their last name you twat. Jesus Christ. Smh

@@RookinherRookery sorry to hear but if he was only 2 in 1959 and died a few years ago? he was still relatively young?

@@cameramanceltic4915 I do not find personal questions about the death of my loved one appropriate

No that was a different boy

He's the second youngest. (And my uncle)

Dad was 14, the eldest. Uncle Mike was 2. They were a classic bunch of "Irish twins"

Heh. No relation.

Are *any* of them?! Do you think some could be but not the rest?

Are you a relative?

Sure am. The oldest one's daughter!

Did you know about the appearance?

Oh yeah, we were raised on the story and my Uncle John transferred the footage to a format we could watch.

@@RookinherRookery Did your Uncle Michael gets teased about his attitude on the show? How is that family doing nowadays? I hope all are doing well.

They appear to be a traditional Irish Catholic family. I attended parochial school with many families of ten or more way back in the day.😇

@Tom Collins The family may be Catholic, but maybe not. Those are just good ol' American names of the time. There were plenty of black Baptist Johns, Mikes, Pats, too, for example.

I also attended a Catholic grade school. One boy in my class had 8 siblings. One girl in my class had 7 siblings. I have 5 siblings. About 2/3 of the class just had 1 or 2 siblings. I was aware of the money problems of the students with the most siblings. I attended a public high school with a boy who had 7 siblings. He said that when people found out about how many siblings he had. they asked him if he was Catholic: he wasn’t.

Hey y'all, I'm the eldest daughter of the oldest son you see here (Jim). They were indeed raised very Catholic. All except Rose did their time as altar boys. Some stayed with it in adulthood, some not.
