Mayfair Family Tree

I just finished reading the Lives of the Mayfair Witches, and I couldn't have loved an author more. The thing that most surprised me about Anne Rice was that her attention to detail failed to make me want to drop the book. I am usually a skipper, I hardly read all the words in a book. But if there is a book on the words of which I doted, it was The Witching Hour. Lasher was the least captivating of the trio and took me the most time to get through, but Taltos was finished before I realized that I am getting through the book faster that the last two.

Still, I can only retain so many details. To keep track of the family members would have been a chore if I had not began to make little diagrams of who belonged where on a scrap piece of paper. One thing led to another, and I now have a full-fleshed Mayfair Family Tree documented by the help of MS Publisher.

A JPEG image of it can be found at my DeviantArt gallery. If you are as obsessed about the Mayfairs as I, and note omissions or mistakes in the tree, please let me know. More about the series can be found on our very trusty Wikipedia.
