FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS

Family relationships of some of  the characters in the Kelson era Deryni books by Katherine Kurtz.

A Chart for determining cousins

Many thanks to Rebecca Davis for her amazing  pedigree charts on her Genealogies of the XI Kingdoms site (The Royal Stud Book?)  for all the character relationships mentioned on this site.

Under each character's name is a common ancestor in a box.  Under that name are all the characters who bear a relationship as a result of having that ancestor in common. * indicates that the character is believed to be Deryni. Other relatives of note tend mostly to be related by marriage, or distant enough not to show the common ancestor.
