Louis Pasteur grew up in a relatively poor family. He was one of four children, and his father was a tanner. In 1849 he married Marie Laurent, the daughter of the rector of the University of Strasbourg, where Pasteur was a professor of chemistry. They had five children together, only two of whom survived to adulthood.
