God said multiply, and did she ever

The casket of Yitta Schwartz after her death last month at age 93 in Kiryas Joel, N.Y. she left perhaps 2,000 descendants. (15 children, more than 200 grandchildren, and so many great- and great- great- grandchildren that, by her family’s count, she could claim 2,000 living descendants.)

My review

First of all, how old was she when started having kids if she has great- great- grandkids? Let’s see, if was 93 when she died………… then (and this is just math and guessing so it might not be right) Yitta would have to be maybe 12 or 13. But from reading on I have found that Yitta’s oldest child is a 75-year-old daughter and her youngest is a great- great- grandchild who was born on February 15. Second of all, the article said she was a survivor of the holocaust! In reading this article about a dead girl, I have found respect for Yitta. Yitta is a member of the Satmar Hasidic sect and she stood by to her religion very closely.
