Charles Lindbergh had one main family in the usual sense: his marriage to Anne Morrow Lindbergh, with whom he had six children.

If you mean “how many families” in the sense of his later secret households , historical accounts say he also had children with two German sisters and with his European secretary , which would make three separate family groups including the public one.

Quick scoop

  • Public family: 1 marriage, 6 children.
  • Additional hidden families: 2 other relationships that produced children, according to later reporting.

In plain terms

Most people mean his family with Anne Morrow Lindbergh, so the short answer is one family.

If you’re counting every separate group of children, then the answer is three families.

TL;DR: One public family, three family groups if you count the later revealed children.
