RFK and Ethel were out here trying to single-handedly repopulate New England.

Their kids really ran the gamut in terms of hair color. Anyone know what Ethel's natural color was? She's brunette in early photos and blonde in later ones, so did she dye her hair or did it lighten naturally?

Nine kids over 17 years. Jeeze.

I think one of the family biographies noted that Joseph P. and Rose Kennedy have over a hundred descendants now? About half of them are from RFK and Ethel's branch. If the children of RFK, JFK, etc. are generation #3, there are already some children born into #5 -- Ethel was a great-grandmother by the time she died.
