Just for fun! If a vampire turns you into one of his kind, couldn't you
say, genealogically, that he or she is your parent? And wouldn't others who
were turned into a bloodsucker by the same vampire be your siblings? With
this in mind, it would be easy to create a genealogy chart of the vampires
from Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles". The following chart is from the
four novels: "Interview With the Vampire", "The Vampire Lestat", "The Queen
of the Damned", and "The Tale of the Body Thief". If you haven't read any
of these books yet (and plan on doing so), you might not want to continue
reading this.

On the chart, the " | " shows a human relationship (i.e. "real" genealogy).
The " I " shows a vampire relationship. The second chart, from "The Tale of
the Body Thief", shows the trading of bodies that took place. At the top is
the body, and beneath it are listed the souls who inhabited that body.
Thank you to America Online member "Darby007" for pointing out that Mael and
Marius are "brothers".

You can print out the chart below by copying it to your word processor.
Make all margins zero inches and change the font to Courier Size 12. It
should fill one page exactly.

By the way, "The Great Family" is especially interesting to us genealogists.

About 4000 BC, Maharet had a daughter named Miriam. By becoming a vampire,
Maharet, of course, became immortal and would thus live forever. So, for
six thousand years, about three hundred generations, Maharet has been
keeping track of the maternal descendents of her daughter Miriam.

Anyway, enjoy the chart and you can contact me if you have any questions:
