Why is family history important, if it’s just a list of names? Broc walks in convinced that family history is exactly that: names, dates, and one uncle nobody brings up at Christmas dinner. Veil answers with a bigger list: go back about twenty generations, and it holds more than a million names.
This is Part 1 of a brand new Family series, How Many Ancestors Do You Have? Along the way: the habits we inherit without noticing, the wounds a family doesn’t have to pass down, the stories told every year at the holiday table, what researchers found in kids who know their family’s story, and a simple way to start your own family tree. By the end, Broc runs out of fingers counting ancestors, and finds out they left him an inheritance after all.
