Maleinos family and a related family, family of Adralestos. For the Maleinos family I didn't correct a small thing, Nikephoros here in the game was not the father of Eusthathios, but an uncle or brother but since I couldn't find any descendants of Nikephoros, I added the actual father as an uncle. Last Maleinos in the game (although there are many members after that), Eudokimos, was married to a woman named Anastasso who was the daughter of Adralestos, Patrikios and Praetorius Praefectus per Orientem. Although I couldn't find any theories on this, I assumed that this Adralestos is identical to the Domestikos ton Scholon Adralestos whose daughter married a Diogenes because he was Domestikos ton Scholon during the reign of Romanos Lekapenos and his wife was a relative of Romanos Lekapenos.

Family of Patriarch Michael Keroularios, maternal uncle of Eudokia Makrembolitissa. I've found a few more people with the family name of Keroularios just before posting this, so I may add them at a future date. I'll take a look at the rest of the Kavkhan family now, which I may perhaps send tomorrow if I make good progress before this night ends. After that I intend to do Makrembolitissa family and Xiphilinos family.

Kavkhan family, previously it only included people upto 867, now it goes as far as Georgi Vojtech, the last known Kavkhan. Took shorter than I thought. I think I may also send Makrembolites family tomorrow, perhaps even tonight because most of the members I've found are either in the game or are from 12th century or later.

I've started on a family that I've found few members of, family of Grigol Pakourianos (Bakurianidze). There are also several other smaller families that I've found and gained some progress while making the last few famlies, Keroularios, Makrebolites, Maleinos etc. I'll post several of them depending on how much time I have in weekend, I may post one during the week.

For some reading on Grigol/Gregorius

Some more reading, about the family of Kale, wife of a Smbat Bakurianos, a member of Grigol's family. From here I've found an additional member for her family (which I haven't started yer), her sister.


Another thing, I've said I was going to post Slavic tribes and they would mostly be fictional, I still haven't posted them because I'm trying to find at least some historical members. Currently I've found a few Archons of the Slavs though not all are identified with a certain tribe, I'm looking to find some more and perhaps some information to help identify from which tribe they were.

Two really small families, Beriboes which is of Vlach origin and Lips of Armenian origin. For Beriboes I've added a fictional ancestor at the start to be the first member to bear the name. Theodoros Strategos of Chios and Theodoros Strategos of Larissa may not be the same person, I made them a sigle person for the time being but may add a few more fictional members and seperate him to be two cousins both bearing the name of their grandfather. For Lips Bardas' connection to Konstantinos isn't exactly known but he is "of Lips", and with no mention of another family member, I've added him under Konstantinos. The other Konstantinos is thought to be a son or grandson of Konstantinos, I've added him as grandson. Konstantinos Lips also had a daughter who was going to marry Abu Ghanim, a member of Bagratuni dynasty and ancestor of Tornikes family, Abu Ghanim died either shortly after his marriage or shortly before it, I've added as if the marriage was done.

I'll post a few smaller families like these in friday or weekend. I've hoped to send Bakurianos' family as well during the weekend but it may not come to pass as I've encountered a few related families, including Tornikes, a cadet of Bagratunis (although currently a seperate dynasty with no connection) and several other members of Bagratunis that are not part of Tornikes. For a portion of the Tonikes family tree I've used This as a portion of the family tree

I'll be posting the family of Patriarch Ioannes Xiphilinos tomorrow or next day. I may also post some members of the Bagratid dynasty, especially one of it's cadets the Tornikes family, though if I post them tomorrow I'll have to return to the Bagratids at a future date to complete Taronites. Anyway, back to Xiphilinos, I could've posted They were mostly ready and I was going to take a look at them tomorrow to finish them but I've found some more members in the source below.

So after some more research, the family tree I've posted previously and post again below is not a portion of Tornikes family whether he is related to Tornikes is not known, but he is thought to be somewhat related and due to the name Chordvaneli being present two times in the family it is also suggested Tornike Eristavi belong to that family ( Family that is related to Laklak and Jaqeli as I've previously mentioned) but I couldn't find something for that either, in fact, I even found a suggestion that Ioannes Athonites, brother in law of Ioannes Tornikios(well actually he seems to have married to the cousin of Ioannes Tonikios) may have belonged to the Chorchanelli family. So a lot of confusion here, I'll be posting them as a family of it's own. Since I'll now do them as a family of their own I may post them tonight or tomorrow before Bakurianos, Xiphilnos, Bagrats etc.

Some members for Khosroviani family, namely the two unnamed daughters of Vakhtang and Mihrdat, the olny one of his three sons that was missing. Also a fictional line to connect with the Byzantine commander Baktangios who, according to Christian Settipani, was probably a descendant of Vakhtang.

Family of Grigol/Gregory Pakourianos is also done, the related family Dzodzikidze/Jojikidze may still take some time though, along with several other Georgian and Armenian families.

### BAKOURIANOS ###
# Family of Grigol Pakourianos/Bakurianidze, the family was most likely of Georgian origin, while some members are said to be
# "Armenians", this is thought to be a reference to their faith and not ethicity. A member named Grigol is said to be
# a son in law of Emperor Alexios' Komnenos' brother Nikephoros while another, Tatoules is said to be the nephew of the same Nikephoros
# Although Bakur is said to be probably the grandfather of Grigol, there should probably be an additional generation between Bakur
# and Grigol's father, considering the age differences and I couldn't find a mention of Zakaria being his uncle, so I've added
# fictional brothes to Zakaria for both this purpose and for the connection of some other members of the family

Family of Georgius, third Hegumenos of Ivirion monastery. I actually started making his family due to misunderstanding something and thinking that he was related to the wife of a member of Dzodzik/Gogik family and it really caused some confusion since I later found out she was the daughter of Bagrat III, after finding some more sources, they don't seem to be related, so with that solved one problem on how to connect some families is gone. Although he is no longer that relevant, I had put in the efferot so here his family.

Four families, although two are just two members.

First is family of Tornike Eristavi, he is said to be from Chordvaneli/Chorchaneli family, the family that started out as a cadet of Bahlaund family when the founders maternal uncle, last member of Chorchanelli family died childless and left his possessions to three sons of his sister. I intend to connect them later on, since I've also found some members to two of the three cadets these nephews formed.

Second is the family of Dzodzik/Gogik possibly connected to Bakur's family I've previously posted through Zakaria, Bakur's son, so I've added Zakaria's mother Thekla as a daughter of Dzodzik. Two members of Tornike Eristavi's family is also said to be cousins of one of Dzodzik's sons, so I've added a wife of Dzodzik who is a paternal aunt for these two. One of Dzodzik's sons, Phers, was married to the daughter of Bagrat III, although I couldn't find whether this Bagrat III was Bagrat III of Georgia, Bagrat III of Taron or someone else if some other Bagrat III existed, I've added her as a daughter of Bagrat III of Georgia because she is said to be the sister of a monk, Basil and a famous monk Basil is thought to be the son of Bagrat III of Georgia. I'll post her later on along with some more people from different houses of her dynasty.

Third family is Ioannes Athonites and his son, Ioannes Athonites was previously thought to be one of these cadets of Bahlaund but it is no longer thought. Ioannes Athonites is referred to as a "brother" and a "brother in law" of Tornike Eristavi, however he is neither, him being a brother is probably due to both of them being from the same monastery and although he isn't actually his brother in law, they were indeed related through marriage, Ioannes Athonites' wife was Tornike Eristavi's cousin, daughter of his uncle Abuharb.

Fourth and final family, again a family of two, is Gregoras Iberitzes and his daughter, Gregoras is related through marriage to Andronikos Doukas, this relation is thought to be through a marriage of Gregoras' daughter to Andronikos' son Konstantinos since Konstantinos is also mentioned to be related with marriage and one of Konstantinos' sons is named Gregoras. If there was another marriage between the two families, I couldn't find.

As said in the above post, I'll send some mebers from a few branches of Bagrat dynasty soon, perhaps tomorrow or late this night but it's not final as I haven't fully taken a look at them so I'll dig for more members tomorrow and hope to send those by next weekend. Xiphilinios family I'll not be able to post this weekend, hopefully next one.

I must say, I really enjoy doing this but due to time constraints of my real life, I really must reconsider my position. I was thinking I'd go with smaller families for the time being but some of the ones I posted today and yesterday were "smaller families" with only a few members easily found but after some research, somehow became a whole lot bigger than I could've even expected. After finishing some families I've currently started (like Xiphilinos family and Bagratid dynasty along with it's cadets), and perhaps completing some families which I've left at 867 (I remember Katakalons, Bryennios and Kavkhan, the last one I recently finished) I may stop adding new people altogether for a while, at least until this semester ends.

I'll check later on what I said I'll do and haven't yet done in the previous posts, make a list of them here and decide which of them I may currently do and which of them I may not.

I may have missed some but these are things I said I'll do and a few that I may not have explicitly said I'll do but the implication is there

- Additional members I've found for Varajnuni family (family of Mleh/Meles and Philaretos Brachamios):
May or may not do it, I've already found some members but if there is too much complication on who is who and related to whom, I probably won't.

- Family of Bardanes Tourkos:
currently I've partially posted some but Pax Romana was doing a more extensive work on him, so I won't.

- Bryennios family, descended from Bardanes Tourkos:
I've currently left it around 867, will do if members and their connections are found easily within DOAKS, PBW2016 or PMBZ

- Katakalon family:
same as Bryennios' family

- Rurikids:
I may add some early members for the time being, but won't do a complete one of all Rurikids until 12th century yet

- Baianos/Baganos family:
I'll do it but won't go delving for more research besides what I've already found though

- Scleros Family:
Probably won't do it as the family tree is a mess compared to the family trees, I've found but if I decide to do it I'll mostly place missing members under some random member from an appropriate time.

- Smaller families connected to Anastasius' family:
I've previously added Sabinian's family and will check to see whether if I've done some other but other than that won't do it for the time being, the reason being most of them are either very small with no other important connections, like Belisarius' family, or hard to find members for in the first place (I couldn't find several of them),

- Apion family:
I intend of doing it in the future but won't do it for the time being, will probably among the first larger families on my return.

- Rest of Docibilius family:
I won't do it for the time being, due to several reasons: their original seat isn't even county level, they have too many members, and it gets even more complicated since some of the later members probably exist in the game but under different families.

- More Germanic families/tribes:
Won't do it for the time being, to be honest this is perhaps the one I want to do the most among what I haven't done so far and comes in third place of all, after the family of Heraclius and the Bulgarian ruling dynasty (Dulo/Krum/Kometopuli) but it's too much digging for very few people that are too far away from 867 start. I've already posted some families that didn't exist such as Ardabur, Areobindos etc. and posted many Amal family members that were missing so will leave it at that, for the foreseeable future.

- Turkic, Lombard, Norman, Frankish defectors and mercenaries:
I've done most of the ones I've found and decided not to do some because they were either dead before 1066 with known family or like Tzatzikios family which already existed in the history files(though not seen in 1066). I will take a look to see if there are some in my list that I haven't yet touched, but won't go looking for new ones.

-Family of Patriarch Xiphilinios:
Will do, hopefully will be done by next weekend.

- More pre 867 families of emperors:
Won't do for the time being, because Pax Romana probably already worked on them and most of those that had many members like Heraclius, Anastasius, Constantius etc. I've done.

-Slavic tribes:
I won't do it for the time being. As I've said I've already had some work on it but it's mostly fictional characters. Because I've since found some historical rulers and have been overzealous when I was making the fictional families, I can't easily trim them either as I've made many marriage connections between them so they stay on hold for now.

- Bagratids: I may not go delving for members from earlier centuries but I'll add at least the people who lived in 9th, 10th and 11th centuries for all the branches

-Connecting Nasr to royal line of Persians:
I think I've done it but not posted it, will do even if I haven't.

- Spanopoulos family which I've mentioned while posting Seblias family:
I may or may not do depending on their size.

- Some more Bulgars/Bulgarians:
May or may not do it, I've found many more nobles but they are mostly individuals, Bulgaria is so lacking in people even individuals would be good but I'd like to try and find family connections for them if possible.

- Sigfredian dynasty and Anglosaxon/Norse families:
Not actually relevant to Byzantine work but could have posted them. It involves adding some norse families I've found, creating the Sigfredian dynasty properly and connecting Godwinson family to Wessex family (Godwin's father is possibly a male line descendant of Wessex family) since I haven't finished even one. Don't plan on finishing atm.

- Small families that I haven't mentioned by name but said I'm working on:
As I said, the families I've posted in the last couple of days were among them but some really expanded and were no longer small families. There are a few others left, intend on finishing them all unless they go expanding like the last few. In fact I'll send at least 2-3 more tonight.

Some more:

First is 11th century members for Morocharzanios/Morokardanios family. Patriarch Photios' maternal uncle Patriarch Ioannes Gramatikos bore this surname. It is known Ioannes Grammatikos had a brother and he had two sons, one,Bardas, married to the daughter of Konstantinos Konstomytes and took her surname and for his brother Stephen there is no knowledge of marriage so I've made a fictional line under him to connect with them. I've already sent the people I've mentioned.

Second is three members for Euforbenos family and two fictional ancestors for them. Currently the family has just one member, Konstantinos and it is probably wrong because although I couldn't find the name of his parents what I found sait Konstantinos Euforbenos Katakalon was an Euforbenos on his MOTHER'S side and a Katakalon on his father's side, so I've also added a fictional female member.

Third is Kaballarios family. Konstantinos Kaballarios was the earliest member I could find and started with him, he also was the last strategos of the Kibyrrhaeot theme. Since the latest male member, also another Konstantinos, died childless and there is no mention of his sister marrying either but there are more people with this family name in later centuries, I've added a fictional line as well.

I may send 1-2 more smaller families tomorrow, there isn't that many left that I've started. Currently I'm back on Bagratids to see if I can do more to send tomorrow. Will probably take a look at Bryennios and Katakalon after that and then finish Xiphilinos.

Edit: I've found a good number of Tornikes and Taronites (both cadet of Bagratids) so I may not be able to send them tomorrow. I've also found some members for Katakalons to connect between 867 and 11th century members, I may finish and send them tomorrow. Bryennios I've found some members but couldn't find members to connect between 867 and 1066 so I may also send them tomorrow with a fictional line to fill the gap.

Members for Bagratuni dynasty and it's cadets, which should include two more cadets, Tornikes, which exist as a seperate dynasty with no connection in the game and Kontoleon, because a member, who was Katepano of Italy in 1017 was possibly named Kontoleon (Short Leon) and there are some people bearing that name later on, near the Ivirion monastery as well so I think they were indeed related and added them. It's rather late so I may have missed some errors while correcting.

Also a fictional line for Nasr the Khurramite leader, who I've previously posted. He was of Persian nobility and it is said he was actually from the royal family (Sassanid dynasty). I've branched it from Dayubid dynasty because it's closest in date.

I'll probably finish Bryennios and Katakalon tomorrow and Xiphilinos by next weekend.

A whole lot more members for Katakalon family. I purposefully omitted a few people because they may have been identical and a few that bore double surnames but whose parentage I couldn't find. Konstantinos Euforbenos Katakalon, on the other hand, I've added because his father is said to be a Katakalon.

I may also finish a family tree for Bryennios today. Then there are some more small families I may post today as well and perhaps some additional members for Mousele if I can finish today. I forgot mentioning, before stopping adding new families, I also intend on taking a look on the branches of Mamikonians once more, Bryennios, who is a son of Bardanes Tourkos is one such, though as I said I don't intend to explore his other connections as Pax Romana is already doing it, Mouseles, to which I've already added some members, are another, though I won't delve too deep to find members, I'll only post members I found in PMBZ, Doaks and PBW2016.
Depending on my progress with Bryennios, I may also start connecting the members of Xiphilinos to finish it before next weekend.

## KATAKALON FAMILY ##
# Katakalon, Katakilatzes, Katakalos... all different variatons of the same name. First member, Katakylas, was a nephew or
# cousin of emperor Michael II. As an after thought I really should've used all the different spellings as it was a great
# oppurtunity for branching the family into more cadets. Maybe in the distant future where I have more spare time.

Bryennios family. There wasn't that many members, and those members I found in 11th century were almost all identical to those in game, between early 9th century and 11th century there weren't any members at all, I had to connect them through a fictional line. I returned to Xiphilinos family right now but may post 1-2 more small families tonight.
