Difference between Language family and Linguistic reconstruction

Language family vs. Linguistic reconstruction

A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language or parental language, called the proto-language of that family. Linguistic reconstruction is the practice of establishing the features of an unattested ancestor language of one or more given languages.
