Mother Elizabeth Cutter Morrow
Father Dwight Whitney Morrow - the second of four children, Elisabeth Reeve, Dwight, Jr. and Constance.
Wife of fellow aviator Charles Lindbergh.                          
                          
From 1957 until his death in 1974, Charles had an affair with a Bavarian woman 24 years his junior, whom he supported financially. The affair was kept secret, and only in 2003, after Anne and the mistress were both dead, did DNA testing prove that Charles had fathered the mistress's three children. One child came to suspect that Lindbergh was their father and made her suspicions public, after finding among her dead mother's effects snapshots of, and letters from, Charles. He is also suspected of having fathered children by a sister of his Bavarian mistress, and by his personal secretary. All this may have contributed to the stoic character of Anne's later life.
