The word 'family' derives from the Latin ‘famulus’, meaning ‘a servant’.
When Julius Caesar landed in Britain he reported that wives were being shared between groups of ten or twelve men, especially between fathers and sons, but the offspring of these unions were counted as the children with whom a particular woman cohabited first.
Until the late 17th century, ‘family’ included not only relatives but also the servants of a household.
The father with the most children is thought to be Ismail Ibn Sharif, an Alaouite sultan who fathered 888 children with hundreds of wives and concubines in the late seventeenth century.
The phrase blood is thinker than water, a phrase that promotes family ties over friendships, originally meant the opposite. The full phrase is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Meaning blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than genetics.
The first recorded use of the phrase “family size” in retailing was in 1882.
The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.
King Saud of Saudi Arabia (1902-1969) had multiple wives and 115 children.

Spain had a guardianship system until 1985, which granted men near-total control over their wives and daughters. Women needed their guardian's consent to open a bank account, work, or drive, and men could legally kill their female wards for having extramarital sex.
Ziona Chana (July 20, 1945-June 13, 2021) of Baktawng village, Mizoram, India was the leader of the "Chana" sect, which allows polygamy. He lived in a 100-room four storey mansion with his jumbo sized family, which consisted of 39 wives, 94 children, 14-daughters-in-laws and 33 grandchildren, setting the world record for the "world's largest existing family."
60 years old Japanese truck driver found out he was accidentally switched at birth in 1953 at San Ikukai Hospital in Tokyo. His biological parents are wealthy and the infant who took his place grew up to be the head of a real estate company. Meanwhile he was raised by a poor single mother in a tiny, one-room apartment where the sole “luxury” was a radio. He studied at night school while toiling in a factory, and finally became a truck driver.
Indian farm hand Ramajit Raghav claimed in 2012 that he was the oldest person to father a child at the age of 96. What's more, he had done it for the second time in a gap of less than two years, having been blessed with his first child in November 2010.

The definition of a ‘family’ used by the British Office for National Statistics is “a married, civil partnered or cohabiting couple with or without children, or a lone parent with at least one child”
While you inherit DNA from both parents, you end up using your father's DNA more — genetically, you are more like your dad than your mom..
Forty-seven per cent of families with dependent children have only one child.
The average age in the UK at which a man becomes a father for the first time is 32.
