    They say 7 generations, and they aren’t counting generations as Gen X and Gen Y, they seem to be counting them as mother to child. So, there is a 13 year old that had a child, and a 15 year old holding her 1 month old.

    Here is the best I could do with something that is remotely trustworthy as a source: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-living-generations-(ever)

    Guinness confirms the lineage, though they give slightly different ages than what’s in the image here at 109, 89, 70, 52, 33, 15, and a newborn. With that math, the ages that each woman first gave birth are 20, 19, 18, 19, and 15. That’s a little better, but 15 is still concerning, as you put it.
