We sunk a lot of hours into creating these family trees and I would like to put on record our appreciation of the many hours given up by our Beta testers to here. No system is perfect and no doubt there are errors although to be honest it is not something we loose a lot of sleep about. Also from my own research I quite often found that you could find contradictory claims about where families came from, this lead to us having to make a personal choice about which one to pick. Our general rule was to pick the most interesting one to try and give these families more game context even if we knew it was less likely to be actually true. We also did indeed just ingore some information because it quite simply didn't effec tthe game.
