How many members does your family consist of?/ I think this sounds very strange/ Help me with this one please

As I said, I think this sounds very strange, unless I’m wrong. If I’m wrong would please give me a question which sounds more common. Perhaps, it’s grammatically correct, but I’m not even sure of that.
Please help.

How many people are in your family?

Keep it simple. There is no need to get too fancy.

Hi,
I agree it does sound awkward and inappropriate when asking someone a personal question. Possibly - What does your family consist of? But that sounds impersonal, too. Perhaps - How many are you in your family?
