Links to any family trees or adoptions are listed below the family name. Family trees show connections to other families, help explain how new characters might fit into a family, and chart a line of descent from one character. Adoptions give a more comprehensive view of which characters people want to see played. Please keep in mind that if you'd like to adopt a character, you must get approval from the person who submitted the request in order for the new biography to be accepted.

If you do not wish to edit the wiki yourself, you may post your character information on the site [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=3635.0 here]. You may also use [http://ao.cody-williams.info/tree/ Cody's site] to organize your family information - there, you can see families organized by surnames and how many family members are in each, the most recent individuals and families added, and which countries and places the families come from. Whatever method you pick for your family tree (thread, wiki page, or Cody's site), feel free to link it below.
===Avery===
An old, wealthy pureblood family either said to have originated from France or Navarra. Formerly staunchly purist and thus has many historical ties to other pureblood families. After their involvement with Grindelwald and Voldemort, the family is split between maintaining that purist view and being anti-purist. Anti-purist Averys declare their distaste for blood discrimination openly, while the purist side tends to keep a low profile.
* [[Lyra Avery]]

===Bagnold===
The Bagnolds are a pureblood family with roots in Kent, England.  They are closely connected to the Grimms and the Whitmans, and have direct ties to many other pureblood families.  The Bagnold family has a reputation for being very pro-Ministry and anti-purist, and are known to produce many Gryffindors.  [[Millicent Bagnold]], a former Minister for Magic who came to power during the end of Voldemort's first reign, is still the clan's matriarch.

Current residents include Argyle; Hannah, wife number seven; and his youngest children with Hannah, Polka-Dot and Polly Esther Ligeia. So in a way they're related to everybody. Through marriage, twice or thrice removed.

====Afamdi====
This is an old family of voodoo priests and priestesses, who originate from West Africa, but because of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade are now rooted in [[Jamaica]]. They practice all types of magic, and also rituals, combat, and stealth, in they are well known for being able to seamlessly move between the muggle and wizarding world.
 
Afamdi-Steele is the main family branch, having their name combined with their old slave-owner, whom they killed and replaced. The Steele name was then used as a cover for the general public, while immediate family and members of their community knew them as Afamdi. As a tradition, whenever women from this family marry, they always keep Afamdi, drop the latter surname, and then adopt their husband's surname

====d'Aubigne====
The d'Aubigne family is primarily French. They are wealthy and tend to marry into families outside of their country in the hopes of broadening their gene pool and lessening the negative side effects of consistent inbreeding. Typically the male will move to the female's home country to make it easier to marry outside of French purebloods. For this reasons the d'Aubigne family is found all over Europe.

===Carstairs===
The Carstairs family are a largely Pureblood family with many Halfblood offshoots. They are well-to-do and tend to socialise in the same circles as most other upperclass Pureblood families. However, the Carstairs are not especially known for being extravagant or flashy (with exceptions). They have occasionally produced a [[Seer]]. They are not notable Purists.

The family have loosened their thoughts on requiring pureblood marriage. Historical Gamps have included a Minister for Magic and a Gamp who established Transfiguration laws. Many ancestors have worked deeply in the Department of Mysteries. [http://www.familyecho.com/?p=AJT9D&c=lakrtczpgf&f=433355319595424305 Family Tree]

A powerful clan, they traditionally followed Set, and were known to engage in criminal activity; namely the trading of illegal potions ingredients, such as Runespoor venom and fangs. Their most well known, and legal, export was Basilisk venom. The metamorph and parseltongue abilities were carried in their bloodline.
: The eldest daughter, Atalana, turned against her family and killed off the rest of the main bloodline in 1995. With her arrest and imprisonment, the current heir is Tapendra Trishna, her bastard son.

A small but cut-throat pureblood family of Welsh origin. In the past, they have been known to 'disappear' or throw out members who threaten the current status quo of power. Edgar Carstairs is famously a Morgan disowned for his progressive views and for being close in the line of succession.


The Morgan estate is located in the Glaslyn river valley in north-west Wales. Their family burial plot is in a nearby grove of great oaks plotted against muggle detection, called Cell y Dewiniaid. Morgans continue to be buried here.

====MacDuff====
===Musgrave===
The MacDuff family is made of poor Scottish purebloods. They have very little left to their name apart from purity. It is not uncommon for them to turn to lives of crime, and with the recent attacks on the wizard world by [[Dugan MacDuff]] their reputation has been further ruined.
Recent generation hail from St Albans, England. A more working to middle class family who have thinly retained their pure blood. The name is now most commonly associated with recent dementor and criminal activity, but was previously respected within the Department of Magical Transport.

====MacFusty====
===O'Doherty===
: [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=5888.0 Family Tree]
The O'Doherty family is an old Irish clan made rich from an ancestral wand with rare Leprechaun Hair core. The family was once pure but rather convoluted. It was common for marriages between cousins or such to keep the family name, passed down through the firstborn sons. The family's legendary vile attitude is rumored to be caused by a curse from the original Leprechaun that was wronged by an ancestor. The family lives off their immense wealth, loaning it for illicit causes with nasty return rates. Current patriarch Ainbheartach was not pleased with his son Martin's marriage to a muggle woman. Casey was groomed as a male inheritor until cutting ties with the family, leaving cousin Brona as the new possible inheritor.
: The MacFustys are a long-time pureblood family dating back to at least the era of the Viking invasions (if not further). A massive Scottish clan of dragonkeepers, their family is spread in groups around the Hebrides, each family group guarding and caring for a specific dragon or pair of dragons. While considered pure, most of them are fairly relaxed on blood purity, and so muggleborns often marry in. Their clan is large and diverse enough that while many of them share a last name and a uniform group identity, most haven't met, and are only distantly related.  


:They have no currently adoptable characters, but are an option for pureblood ties.  
While the family claims to be of pureblood that is under scrutiny, at least in the recent generations. Casey, particularly, was born from a muggle mother. Whether they are truly pure or not, the O'Dohertys like to portray themselves with that status.

The family lives off their immense wealth, loaning it for illicit causes with nasty return rates.

A middle-class, heavily halfblood family, the Hollingburys have had absolutely no qualms with marrying Muggleborns and halfbloods, although they avoid marriage with Muggles. Through this lack of care for blood status (starting with their ancestors), they have managed to marry some Greeks, to the point that today, the family has relatives and connections in Greece. It is usually common to have at least one person every generation with a name that has roots to that Greek origin.

More family and adoptable character resources

Pureblood Families

Almasy

An extremely wealthy, matriarchal family primarily from Moscow, Russia. Only a handful reside in the UK. They are known asThe Almasy.

Avery

An old, wealthy pureblood family either said to have originated from France or Navarra. Formerly staunchly purist and thus has many historical ties to other pureblood families. After their involvement with Grindelwald and Voldemort, the family is split between maintaining that purist view and being anti-purist. Anti-purist Averys declare their distaste for blood discrimination openly, while the purist side tends to keep a low profile.

Bagnold

The Bagnolds are a pureblood family with roots in Kent, England. They are closely connected to the Grimms and the Whitmans, and have direct ties to many other pureblood families. The Bagnold family has a reputation for being very pro-Ministry and anti-purist, and are known to produce many Gryffindors. Millicent Bagnold, a former Minister for Magic who came to power during the end of Voldemort's first reign, is still the clan's matriarch.

The Bagnolds are open for pureblood connections or new characters within the family. For more information, please contact Sparky.

Bombay

Canterbury

The Canterbury name has become something of a hodge-podge. Depending on who eccentric wizengamot member Argyle Canterbury was married to (he has had several wives) his children have been pureboods or half-bloods. The Canterbury Estate is in the village of Mould-on-the-Wold. Current residents include Argyle; Hannah, wife number seven; and his youngest children with Hannah, Polka-Dot and Polly Esther Ligeia. So in a way they're related to everybody. Through marriage, twice or thrice removed.

NPC relations

Carstairs

The Carstairs family are a largely Pureblood family with many Halfblood offshoots. They are well-to-do and tend to socialise in the same circles as most other upperclass Pureblood families. However, the Carstairs are not especially known for being extravagant or flashy (with exceptions). They have occasionally produced a Seer. They are not notable Purists.

Carstairs were originally a Scottish family but have long since strayed far from their roots, to settle in England. The tombstones of some ancestors may be sighted in Melrose Cemetery, Edinburgh.

Gamp

A canon pureblood family from England. Recent generations (Mortimer Gamp, Lyra Gamp) have a family home in Godric's Hollow. There are opportunities for many branches off. The family have loosened their thoughts on requiring pureblood marriage. Historical Gamps have included a Minister for Magic and a Gamp who established Transfiguration laws. Many ancestors have worked deeply in the Department of Mysteries. Family Tree

Grumman

Knight

The Knight family is from England. The main line currently resides is Kilburn. They are an incredibly old fashioned family. They tend to be purist, sexist, racist, and very traditional in behavior. The family is known- even now- to practice arranged marriages to keep the blood line pure and prestigious.

Liddleton

The Liddleton family is an old pureblood family from England. They traditionally work in business, ministry and law. There are enough illegitimate children of varying blood-types that can link themselves to the Liddleton family line.

Lemon

A small and poor pureblood family. The Lemons have generally laboured in magical farms and tending to creatures. Only some of their members hold actively strong Purist views.

Morgan

A small but cut-throat pureblood family of Welsh origin. In the past, they have been known to 'disappear' or throw out members who threaten the current status quo of power. Edgar Carstairs is famously a Morgan disowned for his progressive views and for being close in the line of succession.

The Morgan estate is located in the Glaslyn river valley in north-west Wales. Their family burial plot is in a nearby grove of great oaks plotted against muggle detection, called Cell y Dewiniaid. Morgans continue to be buried here.

Musgrave

Recent generation hail from St Albans, England. A more working to middle class family who have thinly retained their pure blood. The name is now most commonly associated with recent dementor and criminal activity, but was previously respected within the Department of Magical Transport.

Ollivander

The Ollivanders are an old pureblood family who occasionally marry half-blood and muggleborn people.

O'Doherty

The O'Doherty family is an old Irish clan made rich from an ancestral wand with rare Leprechaun Hair core. The family was once pure but rather convoluted. It was common for marriages between cousins or such to keep the family name, passed down through the firstborn sons. The family's legendary vile attitude is rumored to be caused by a curse from the original Leprechaun that was wronged by an ancestor. The family lives off their immense wealth, loaning it for illicit causes with nasty return rates. Current patriarch Ainbheartach was not pleased with his son Martin's marriage to a muggle woman. Casey was groomed as a male inheritor until cutting ties with the family, leaving cousin Brona as the new possible inheritor.

While the family claims to be of pureblood that is under scrutiny, at least in the recent generations. Casey, particularly, was born from a muggle mother. Whether they are truly pure or not, the O'Dohertys like to portray themselves with that status.

There are Spectre estates all across Scotland - many dedicated to the breeding or care of magical creatures. One of the main estates is located in a warded area just outside of Edinburgh. The Spectres have a distant connection to the Sellaphix Family.
