So who comprises the "Falwell Family" to whom so

[elfin]

many pundits/politicos extend prayers??

I see a wife in the pics - any kids? Is there a Jerry Junior to continue the scam? What's the story behind the story?

Cynically, I suspect the relationships are not exactly the Moral Majority Ideal.

1. he had three children

Jerry, Jeannie, and Jonathan. One of his sons is an attorney, the other I believe is a minister. I imagine he'll be taking over from his father. His daughter is a surgeon. I'm guessing his kids are married and that he has grandchildren too, but I'm not sure about that.

2. The family

Interesting background (I almost could've predicted it):

"His father was an entrepreneur and one-time bootlegger who was not very religious. His grandfather was a staunch atheist. Falwell was born with a fraternal twin brother, Gene.

Falwell married the former Macel Pate on April 12, 1958, and had two sons (one, Jerry Jr., is a lawyer and the other, Jonathan, a pastor) and one daughter (Jeannie, who is a surgeon)."
