Dolly Parton is one of the beloved musicians not just in Country music, but in the entire United States. She's also one of 12 siblings, as the fourth born into the Parton family.
Dolly's family have often been supportive of her incredible career, and her sisters Stella and Rachel are also singers too.
Here's what we know about Dolly's 11 siblings...
