Family Reunions
A family reunion at Lille, Fiance, which was attends!
fcfh-377 persons, was. regarded as so extraordinary an event

fyftild have numbered 951. But the impressiveness of it in
finished for us when we learn that the number include:!
(tfjthe descendants" a-, man who.was married .in. 1865.
Atmost anybody could claim a family connection equally
Urge if he numbered among his kinsman all the descen
dants of an ancestor seven or eight generations back.

is much interested in this big family because small fami
leis are the rule there and apprehension is felt over the de

more than three or. four generations, removed; for most
Americans know littlo or nothing of their family tree;;
beyond their great-grandparents. ' r

relatives. 'For among the native American stock the birth
rate has shown a remarkable decline in recent years. I!en-
