Hmm, I found this start quite odd and very confusing. HOWEVER! I love the fact it's unique and I've never seen any Pro start like this before so well done for being brave on this start :)

Thanks.  I tried to add a simple family tree, too, but the format I have it in fights with the one on this site.  But it's a book with a lot of family members, and often it's hard to remember who's who once the main characters start marrying and having kids and grandchildren.
