Marquette Trilogy Family Trees
"Genealogy was her favorite insanity." - Anthony Trollope
Each volume of the Marquette Trilogy covers roughly fifty years of Marquette's history from 1849-1999. Consequently, the characters have intricate family trees. Below are the complete family trees for the principal characters in The Marquette Trilogy.
Each chart numbers each family member by generation. For example, the Brookfield and Whitman Family Chart begins with Lucius Brookfield as the patriarch of the family, so he is listed as 1, each of his children is listed as a 2, each of his grandchildren as a 3, etc. Due to marriages between families, characters who appear in more than one family tree are highlighted.
