My Whole Family

My Whole Family

Our connection to the prehistoric man. Everything you need to know about generations

How large is a family? Do only mother, father, children, grandparents and aunts and uncles count? How many of our relatives do we actually know and what about all the others? What do I have in common with my grandfather? Why do I feel close to my great grandmother when I wear her necklace? How does inheriting work? What is a generation and how is a family tree created? Are we also related to prehistoric men? Does a memorial make someone immortal? Are cemeteries there so we will remember people – or forget them?
Gerda Raidt seeks answers to these children’s questions and finds astounding cause for thought.
