Desiderius/Dauferius' family. There are a a whole lot of other missing members of the family such as his grandchildren from his daughter Liutperga (currently only Theodo is in game) or a possible second(or third depending on Bernard Ansprand) son who was a member of the clergy.

I'll probably send Georgios Maniakes' family by night.
 
Family of Georgios Maniakes. Since there was nothing to go on besides two names, Georgios and Konstantinos, being somewhat common in the family, I constructed the family mostly based on that.

Strangely, just around the same time as Georgios Maniakes, son of Goudelios Maniakes a family with the name Goudeles also appears and later on there are some Godelios Tzinkandiles / Tzinkandiles Goudelios. At a later time I may add them as descendants from a brother of Georgios Maniakes or a son of him as well.

Next, I'll probably wrap up the Radenoi since I've already added all their members and all that's left doing is connecting them to eachother or I may go with the Anicii or do a partial tree of Jaqeli/Chorchanelli to make them available in 867 and perhaps 1066 starts. The Jaqelis held onto their lands well into 1800s sometimes independent, sometimes as part of the Georgian Kingdom, for a time a protectorate of the Mongol Empire and finally as hereditary pashas under Ottoman Empire until their lands were conquered by the Russian Empire, I don't know about their current status but at least one branch accepted Russian rule so they may be alive even today.
 
A small thing I've found,A member of the gens Anicia, Pope Gregory I (Gregorius Anicius) apparently had two brothers, one of them named Germanus. There is a(actually several) Germanus from Justinian's family who also descends from Anicii so perhaps the two share a not so distant ancestor considering the common name Germanus and both being from the Anicia gens.
 
Chordvaneli/Chorchaneli was a Georgian family from the village Chorc, first mentioned in 9th century but thought to have existed at least from the 8th century. Giorgi Chorchaneli was the last male member of the family, he had no child and split his estates among the sons of his sister Latavri, who married to Mirian Bahlaund. Their eldest son Sula founded the new house of Chorchaneli, the middle son Beshken founded the house Jaqeli and the youngest son Laklak founded the house Laklak. Below are all these as well as a fictional father to Latavr and Giorgi and Mirian's father Beshken and grandfather Iovane whose names were mentioned. The three brothers should probably be a decade or two younger but I made them as such so they could immediately be married off to someone and not drown to death as a child.


I may later add some more members such as Ioannes Tornikios(Tornike Eristavi) who is possibly a member considering his father is literally named Chordvaneli(meaning from Chorc).

Next will probably be Radenoi but again, I may go with the Anicii.
 
Unless I find some smaller family, I will probably return to Anastasius family tree after I finish this(though I may finish Radenoi before that) because as I previously mentioned, Probus, the husband of Proba, daughter of Olybrius consul of 491 and Irene niece of Anastasius is either Anicius Probus or a son of Anastasius nephew Probus, also named Probus. I'll go with Anicius Probus since their daughter, Iuliana also married a member of the Anastasius' family, Anastasius, a grandson of either one of Paulus'(Anastasius' brother) two daughters married to the brothers Moschianus and Sabinianus or a son (he had a son, Probus and possibly a Hypatius as Anastasius may have had two Hypatiuses as nephews). Apparently Anastasius also had an illegitimate son who died in a riot in 501, but there is no mention of his name or any marriage.

Another small family I've found but will do later on, family of Anatolius Hereditary Hypatius of Gaeta prior to Docibilis who assumed rule in 866. Two families were apparently connected through marriage with Docibilis marrying Matrona, a granddaughter of Anatolius and later on, another marriage of a greatgrandson of Anatolius marrying to his relative Matrona, daughter of one of Docibilis and his wife Matrona's sons.


A small list both to remind myself and to notify of the work I plan to do(not in this order):

- Families of Docibilis and Anatolius mentioned above
- Serblias family
- Radenoi which, again, is mostly done and all that's left is to connect
- Konstantine Maniakes' family including the Genesios family which may have descended from him
- Addition of more known members to Jaqeli, Laklak and Chorchanelli
- Some Anicii and Petronii, just enough to show that ancestors of Anicia Juliana, daughter of Olybrius the Western Roman Emperor were relatives and a few fictional members to connect the family of Gregorius Anicius (Pope Gregory) and Germanus nephew of Emperor Justin I to Anicii family and to eachother (as stated Gregorius had a brother named Germanus)
- Additons to Anastasius' family
- Additions of new members (with unknown connection to main branches) I've found to the Amal family
- Other Germanic tribes with known members that were at some point served the Byzantine Empire or were connected to Amals or Huns or the Byzantines through marriage.
- A repost of Heraclius' family with some changes such as to his mother (Epiphania may have been a descendant of Anastasia and Pompeius)
- Inger and Martinakios families, which as I previously mentioned will be somewhat intertwined as when I was constructing them I accepted all the theories I could find as true unless they contradicted eachother and will have some fictional characters especially on Inger family to be able to connect Inger Metropolitan of Nikae in 825. You can then decide what to keep, what to change etc.

Apart from these, I've added for myself hundreds of fictional characters to represent the various Slavic tribes settled in Byzantine Empire and Bulgaria and some Bulgar tribes in Bulgaria that are known by name and although I don't want to send that many fictional characters, the names of a few individuals from these tribes are known and it is possible to guess which tribe some Byzantine Families known/thought to be of Slavic descent belonged to, so I may add these known families and a small amount of fictional characters as a family for known persons. For example the Leovachos family of Thebes is possibly of Slavic origin and considering the tribe closest to them was probably Belegezites, they may have come from them so I may do a small Belegezites tree with Leovachos descending from them but these tribe additions are definitely very low priority and a thing for the (likely very distant) future.


Also any family with at least some few known members(even if no names are known) known to exist, especially those related to the ruling dynasties through marriage, I try to add.

So.... It's not exactly finished but the hard part of the work is done so I wanted to share it. What's left to do of my intended work for the Anicii is adding the family of Anicius Gregorius (Pope Gregory I) family, connecting them to Anicii and also Germanus the nephew of Justin since he is also said to be related to Anicii and Gregorius also has a brother named Germanus(perhaps identical to Palatinus), but I was unable to find anything on Gregorius' family besides his siblings and his father's siblings.


For the family tree below I've mainly used the tree above which I've also previously posted and PLRE, however I've made some changes based on other things I've read

Since characters each have notes besides them, I won't go into details of every one of them.

Firstly the Petronii part. I've started it with Petronius Probianus whose mother Proba is thought to be a daughter of Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus. Since I didn't add his father, I made them all from the same dynasty as Marcus Aurelius Probus but you can change that as you wish. The family tree above show his son Petronius Probinus married to an Anicia while other sources say he was married to a sister of his sister's husband, Clodius Celsinus Adelphius and some sources say Petronius Probianus himself married a sister of Amnius Anicius Ilianus. I didn't add an Anicia wife to either. His descendants (those I've add) are all married to Anicii as can be seen.

I was going to make some notes on the Anicii as well but something came up while writing this post so for the time being just how the family looks so I'll conclude my post here with some screenshots of the family tree and the historyfile for the characters

So finally, Radenos family tree is here. I've found a few more members such as Martha, who was born around 995 to an Ioannes (very common name in the family) Radenos who was born around 975 and to a Maria Sklerina, daughter (or granddaughter?) of a Bardas Skleros. Also a Demetrias, a Metropolitan from the Radenos family who is a friend of emperor Romanos III and also relative to another metropolitan from the family, Michael who was related to the emperor Romanos III
It seems I was also able to, unknowingly, solve my issue and was able to start the 1066 bookmark so I am able to post what the family tree looks like.

Few things to note are:

-The guy on the top left is the fictional Radenos paradox made and has nothing to do with the family

-Most of the connections here are made up by me because there was little to go on, I made most of the connections based on the dates and the names alone (first son getting grandfathers name), although there were few small groupings such as two brothers, a brother and a sister etc.

-It lacks a few guys named Ioannes because they bore the same title during the same period of time but it was explicitly mentioned in the source that it is possible that those guys are not the same person. I can't recall the numbers but perhaps there were 7-8 of those possible duplicates and I went with 2-3, again not sure. I may or may not add them later on depending on whether I run across other members of the family.

- I didn't add the two marriages within the family I said I was planning on for the Kouropalatissa and Protoproedrissa because I saw there were other men and women from the same time period bearing those titles among the people I've added so perhaps for flavor I can add them between those families.

With all that said, here is how the family looks and after that the files. Next I intend to do the Serblias family or families of Docibilis and Anatolius

Files for the Serblias family. Apparently I broke something and can't start the 1066 bookmark again so unfortunately no screenshot. Although the family has more known members, I didn't add them because they would not appear in the current bookmarks, even some of the added members that were mentioned in 11th century may have been born sometime after 1066 but I added anyone mentioned to have lived in 11th century to have more members.

Serblias was a family employed in civil services and central and provincial government. Due to their name they are thought to be Serbians or from the fortress town of Servia in Greece, which may also have been populated by some Serbs, another interpretation is that the name comes from their ancestor, a Serbian named Elias, therefore Serb Elias. They are mentioned to have marriage connections to a family named Spanopoulos in 1090s. Having learned their name I may, at a later time, add them as well if I can find members. Next will be the Gaetan families of Anatolius and Docibilius and after that the remaining Anicii I intend to add or a return to Anastasius' family.

A small update, family of Docibilus had much more information than I first thought so I'll probably complete them at a later time but I'll send a first part within a couple of days, it will go as far as the second (there are just two I recall) marriage between the families of Docibils and Anatolius.

Adding Pope Gregorius' family will also take some more time because I found some more ancestors of him, and no connecting member to the Anicii I've posted. Pope Felix III possibly the son of a priest also named Felix, was a member of the Anicii and he had two (perhaps three four) children, a son Gordianus and a daughter Paula (perhaps a second daughter Aemiliana). Gordianus in turn had two sons, one of them was Pope Agapetus and the other was Palatinus, this Palatinus is the father of Gregorius' father Gordianus.

Another small update, Firstly regarding the Anatolius' family two theories on his ancestry are that his paternal line comes from a grandson of Theoderic king of Goths and another is that he is the descendant (most likely son considering his son Constantine possibly born around 805) of Annechino Goto, a Spaniard who left Spain and went to Italy in 773.


Theoderic the Great from the Amal dynasty had no sons to our knowledge as he wass succeeded by another member of the Amal family who was married to one of his daughters, however there are at least two other Theodreric king of the Goths, kings of Visigoths from the Balt dynasty Theoderic I and his son Theoderic II, and the grandson of Theoderic I, Alaric married to a daughter of Theoderic the Great, Theodogotha. The couple had a son, Amalaric and perhaps a daughter. Amalaric was married to Clotilde, daughter of Clovis king of the Franks. I may make an ancestry of Anatolius connecting him to Amalaric, though there is no recorded child of Amalaric and Clotilde, Amalaric was 29 years old when he died and his bastard brother some 20 years older than him was born when his father was perhaps not even 20 so I'm considering of adding him a bastard and then connecting him with a descendant Annechino Goto father of Anatolius.

Second is next part of the Anicii, family of Pope Gregory I'll probably add today. Another addition(probably not today) regarding Aniici and also Amals, In 535 Anicius Maximus consul of 523 and a descendant of emperor of the west Petronius Maximus was given an Ostrogothic princess as a bride by Thodahad king of the Ostrogoths, this bride was perhaps a daughter of his uncle Theoderic the Great.

Pope Gregory I's family Starting with Pope Felix III, his children Gordianus, Paula and Ameliana(possible), Gordianus' two sons, Palatinus and Pope Agapetus, Palatinus' three daughters, Aemiliana, Trasilla and Gordiana and his son Gordianus, Gordianus' sons, Palatinus, Germanus (who may possibly be the same person as Palatinus) and Pope Gregory I. Since I couldn't find much of the ancestors of Pope Felix III other than his father also possibly being named Felix, I've just added him as a son of the Anicii I've already added so that he would be connected with the family. I have not added Gregory's mother Silvia and her sister Pateria because they may have been members of the gens Octavia so I may, if I find some more members relavent in the time period, add them together.

There are still some more Anicii to add, the mother of Germanus from the Justinian's family, the wife of Hypatius, Anastasius' nephew and Anicius Maximus descendant of Petronius Maximus emperor of the West. These I will send in another group, since Anicius Maximus was married to an Amal I may postpone sending this group until after I've also added the new Amals I've found so unless I can find some smaller thing to do, perhaps I'll send Anatolius' family and the first portion of Docibilis' family.

Families of Anatolius and a portion of Docibilis. As I mentioned, one theory of Anatolius Ancestry say that he was a descendant of King Theoderic on the paternal line, while another said he is the son of a man named Annechino Goto who emigrated from Spain to Italy in 773. I've accepted both theories as true and took Both the king of Ostrogoths, Theoderic the Great from the Amals and King of the Visigoths, Theoderic I of the Balts as his ancestors by starting a fictional line from Amalaric whose mother was the daughter of Theoderic the Great and father the grandson of Theoderic I.

Anatolius' has several children, a daughter Helisavet/Elisabeth, Elisabeth had an unnamed daughter and married to Theodosius, prefect of Naples and son of a lady named Heline, his first born son Constantine was Hypatus until 866 or 867 and after 839 Constantine's son Marinus is also Hypatus. He had two other sons, an Ioannes also made Hypatus at an unspecified time and Bonus who was Duke(?) of Gaeta in 866-867. Sometime before october 867 they are replaced by Docibilis and this may have been a violent takeover, however there are members of Anatolius family, possibly including Marinus, still alive after this point. Docibilus marries Matrona, the daughter of Anatolius' son Bonus and they have several children which have many recorded descendants. A later member of the Anatolius' family, Kampulus son of Marinus, marries Matrona a granddaughter of Docibilius and Matrona.

In the files below are some fictional members to connect Anatolius to Amalaric, all the recorded members of Anatolius' family I could find, husband of Helisavet's wife and his mother, and Docibilius and his children. Because there are so many recorded descendants of Docibilius, I will, hopefully, work on them in the future, posting them in several parts.

Next will be some more Anicii, just a few members, Maria the wife of Hypatius(Anastasius' nephew), Anicius Maximus, a descendant of who took an Amal Princess as a bride, mother to Germanus, though I think I've already added a mother to him as a daughter to Anicia Juliana, I may add his mother as an Anicii closer to Pope Gregory due to the name of his brother Germanus. Also several more Amals whose connection to what could be called the two main branches are not known.

After that I intend of continuing with Anastasius' family since it's been on hold for a time and there really isn't that much work to do on it. At the very least I'll add some families connected to Anastasius' family through marriage such as Belisarius' family or Appions.

A small update, Family of Anastasius, that is the descendants of Popmpeius and Anastasia (Anastasius' parents) and not the families connected through marriage, had less work to do than I remembered so I did that, there is still some work to do, I couldn't find any birth dates etc. for some later generations so I must work that out, a couple or so people that are part of the family but their exact connection is unknown or whether it is through marriage or not (one is almost definitely a descendant), and finally I may move around 1-2 people because although they definitely belong to Anastasius' family, there is more than one theory on who their parents were. I may finish my work tonight and send it, for now I'll post how the family looks like and make some notes on the changes/additions that will happen and once I'm finished I intend of going through each character with more in depth explanations.

Firstly the errors:
- One lowborn character, Caeseria, is a fictional character along with his brother Hypatius. I've added them because Anastasius' nephew Pompeius (son of Caeseria) and his wife Anastasia(no connection known to the family) had children.
-The sister Pompeius has two her right, she was going to be a fictional child of his sister Caeseria the younger as Caeseria was known to be married.
-Irene the daughter of Paulus has no connection to her daughter with Olybrius, Proba, although I've previously added her.

What's left to add:
-Georgia "the daughter of Anastasia hypatissa", who was corresponding with Severus of Antioch and still wasn't married at a time between 519-538 her exact connection unknown but her mother was possibly Anastasia the wife of Popmpeius
-Theodora's illegitimate daughter as a daughter of Anastasius. Her daughter is claimed by some to be Anastasius' daughter as well, considering that Theodora also had a son, John, but he was sent away by her when he came to Constantinople several years after her marriage while her daughter was married into the family, perhaps she was indeed a daughter of Anastasius. After all, Anastasius himself had at least one illegitimate children, one I added here as Pompeius due to his name not being known and he is only known to us due to the fact that he died in 501 (or 507 in a different source) during a riot.


What may change: Paulus' grandson through his daughter, here shown as Anastasius (Anastasius Paulus Probus Sabinianus Pompeius Anastasius) He is either the son of Sabinianus son of Sabinianus Magnus with a daughter of Paulus, or son of Paulus' son Probus with a daughter of Sabinianus Magnus because like his two sisters who were married to two sons of Sabinianus Magnus, he may have been married to a daughter of Sabinianus Magnus. A member of Anastasius' family, likely a grandson of Paulus, married to empress Theodora's illegitimate daughter, this Anastasius Paulus Sabinianus Pompeius Anastasius is thought to be that member, however I've also seen it suggested that it was the son of Probus. Adding this to the previous possibilty mentioned of his parentage, I left him as he is but added the grandchildren of Theodora under Probus, son of Probus. I may add another Anastasius under Probus son of Paulus and give him a daughter of Sabinianus Magnus as a wife.

After wrapping up Anastasius' family, I intend of going forward with Anicii and Amals as I said, after that I may work on the families connected to Anastasius' through marriage(some I've already added). After that I think I'll probably take a break or at least not work on any new families unless they are considerably small and just return to the ones I've already posted, making corrections, establisihing the connections between them etc.

Another small update regarding Anastasius' family. It seems I won't be able to send them today, which is actually excellent news because while trying to find birth dates for the group of six at the bottom right, descendants of Paulus through a grandson and also empress Theodora through her illegitmate daughter, and I ran across the ancestry of some other people.


Magna, the wife of Paulus was also an Anicii it seems, she is the daughter of Anicius Probus (one of the several that share this name) and his wife Maria, who is a granddaughter of Petronius Maximus emperor of the West and his second wife Volusiana. Anicius Maximus, the consul of 523 who married an Amal princess is also a descendant of him as previously mentioned and his father is named Volusian so he must either be a son or grandson of this Volusiana. Since there is already a Maria here, the wife of Hypatius, another Maria also from the Anicii is probably someone close to this branch of the family so I'll add her somewhere here as well. Another ancestor of Anastasius is also mentioned, A Gallus who was grandfather of Anastasius and was a son of Anastasia the daughter of Constantius Gallus and his wife Constantia. Currently in my additions his ancestry on his maternal side was his mothrer Anastasia(here it says she is named Arriana), a fictional Constantine as her father and Anastasia, the daughter of Constantius Gallus and Constantina. It seems I'll add another generation to his ancestry.

Since more Anicii came up and I couldn't find birth dates for these six, I think I'll return to the Anicii and Amal for the time being (may even do a small family before or after these two) but thanks to the marriage between Ioannes Mystakon and Placidia daughter of Anastasius(possibly Anastasius the son of Theodora's daughter) and Iuliana(daughter of Probus and Proba) I have at least some idea on when to place thier births.

Another small update on something I forgot entirely, Konstantinos Maniakes and Genesios family. All the members I could find, I've added, there's not that many anyway, all that's left is connecting the members to eachother and it won't be hard either I think, since two(or perhaps three) names are repeating each other and the generations of these people are clearly defined, Thomas and Roman(and perhaps the name Genesios as well), another thing I found is that it is possible that he was indeed related to Basil despite from him being from Armenia and Basil from Thrace, however this relation was not through blood, but by marriage, as Basil's wife Maria may have been a daughter of Konstantinos Maniakes. I may also consider adding a fictional daughter somewhere along the family tree a wife to an Ancestor of Georgios Maniakes but I definitely think these families should be seperate from eachother, especially considering none of the two(or three) common names of Thomas and Roman(and Genesios) from Konstantine Maniakes' descendants are seen among Georgios Maniakes' family and apart from two early members, all the later ones are known with the family name of Genesios, so these will be seperate families and Konstantine Maniakes will not have a dynasty with two houses but just one house, Genesios.

I'll probably not be sending Konstantinos Maniakes' family this night but I will definitely send it tomorrow night, as for Amals and Anicii, I'm not sure when I could send it because although I know where to add all the Anicii with the exception of one or two, there really isn't any information on how exactly were these Amals connected to the family with the exception of possible daughters of Theoderic. I'll probably end up grouping them together in a far away branch.

Genesios family, or the family of Konstantinos Maniakes. Konstantinos Maniakes was an Armenian who went to Constantinople as part of a delegation from the Armenian princes to Emperor Theophilos. He was left there as a hostage but quickly rose up due to his intelligence and physical prowess. Although he came from Armenia and Basil's family was in Thrace, he is said to be related to Basil Macedon in some sources, with some saying they were related through marriage, Basil's first wife Maria being the daughter of Konstantine. Considering Basil's son Konstantine was almost certainly from his first marriage, I accepted that theory and added Maria as a wife. I was considering of adding a fictional daughter somewhere along the tree for a marriage to the other Maniakes family that is possibly of Bulgarian origin but decided of not doing that, I've also not made Genesios a cadet as I couldn't find any people with the family name of Maniakes that is related to Konstantine and accepted Genesios as the family name of all of them. I haven't added two members I've found, a Romanos and a Genesios(or perhaps Thomas, can't recall), because judging by their titles and when they mentioned, they were almost certainly identical to two other people with the same name.

Next will probably be some more Anicii as it's almost finished and as for the Amals I've found, since it is not known how exactly were they related to the known family tree of Amals, I'll just add them somewhere. I may post the Amal and Anicii tonight but more likely tomorrow. After that I'll hopefully finish Anastasius' family without the families related through marriage.

Since I've finished a good portion of my previous to-do list from a few days ago, another set of goals for after having posted Anastasius' family, and the additions to Anicii and Amals. These will definitely not be done on this order and think of this as a very long term list of goals, several months long at the minimum if I'm even still doing these in some months, although some will happen soon.

- Additions to Docibilius' family but I'll probably post them in several parts for different branches and I will definitely not start doing them anytime soon, it's very long term, like it may perhaps take several weeks if not months to finish them all if I'm even continuing these.

- Additions to Laklak, Jaqeli and Chorchanelli families, this too won't happen any time soon as it will require much research

- Additions of families related to the families of Emperors through marriage, starting with Anastasios' family, with smaller families being prioritized. So for example the family of Belisarius whose daughter Ionnina was at one point engaged to the grandson of Empress Theodora, Anastasius(the betrothal was broken off after Theodora died and this is the Anastasius that married Iuliana daughter of Probus and Proba) will come very soon perhaps immediately after Anastasius' family while the family of Apions who is related to Justinian family through marriage and perhaps also the Anastasius' family (Praiecta's daughter Praiecta who married to Apion family may have been from her first husband Ioannes son of Pompeius) is of lower priority on account of being a larger family, therefore requiring more work and research.

- Additions to Germanic tribes that were connected somehow to Byzantine Empire, Huns, or the Amal family with marriage relations being the priority. There really isn't that much to add from what I've seen so progress of these (individual families) would be quick I think.

- Martinakios and Inger families which I've been mentioning again and again but still haven't posted yet even though much of it's already done especially on Martinakios side and there really isn't much info on Inger side. This too would come soon, perhaps before the next week ends if I don't forget.

- Repost of Heraclius' family as I've previously mentioned current family tree I've posted has some gaps due to some character ids are frome being members added by another mod which I've not added here. Really doesn't involve much work, just requires the addition of a few members, only problem is I'll have to change character ids and there are some 40 of them. Same goes for Justinian's family though with fewer character ids to change.

- Families of Strategoi, with smaller families generally being the priority but families that are well connected with marriages to others I may also prioritize even if large. I intend of starting with Rendakios family which starts in 8th century and goes into 11th century and has few mentioned members, may possibly do it by Monday and then continuing with Skleros, Melissenos families (not exactly in this order).

-More families of Emperors, especially between 867-1066 as up to this point I've been mostly doing pre 867. I intend going with Lekapenos and Phokas families first.

- Addition of some Turkic, Lombard, Norman and Frankish mercenaries who got important positions and their known families for the 1066 start, this doesn't involve much work because most of them don't have large families and some don't even have families in the relavent period but have descendants in later centuries so these too will possibly come very soon.

- Addition of known members to Rurikids since they are also related to some emperors through marriage. I may post them in several parts as well.

Not related to the Byzantine Empire but I also have the intention of making additions of known members to some Norse and Anglosaxon families and I've been delaying that for a while because I've been doing families from the Byzantine Empire so I can post here, after sending Anastasius' family, I intend of mostly focusing on those so after doing the few things from the above list I intend of finishing within a week, I'll probably make less frequent posts, but if you are interested I can also post these.
