Interesting that there are ruling class big histories (most textbooks) and ruled class big histories (Zinn for eg) but few family/clan based big histories. Albion’s seed comes closest. I’d like a history of US with families as analytic unit (not just prominent ones)

My first thought was that ordinary family histories are insignificant because they had little effect on society. Individuals may stand out, but family is off stage.
