vcczar Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I've now finished all of the dynasties. Here are all of the dynasties with at least 5 members: Roosevelt (Oyster Bay branch-TR), 18 members -- goes from foundation to the present Kennedy, 17 members Adams, 14 members Breckinridge, 14 members Lee, 14 members Taft, 13 members -- almost starts at foundation but goes to the present Hamilton, 11 members Roosevelt (Hyde Park branch-FDR), 11 members -- goes from foundation to the present King, 10 members Livingston, 10 members Udall, 10 members Rodgers, 10 members -- amazingly all naval officers Fish, 9 members -- goes from foundation to the present Ingersoll, 9 members Marshall, 9 members Bayard, 8 members Clay, 8 members Crittenden, 8 members Grant, 8 members Mason, 8 members Washburn, 8 members Harrison, 7 members Long, 7 members Hiester, 7 members Frelinghuysen, 7 members -- except for a likely small gap, goes from foundation to the present Biddle, 7 members Calhoun, 7 members La Follette, 7 members Sherman, 6 members Van Rensselaer, 6 members Jefferson, 6 members -- unusually includes sons-in-laws and kids of TJ's daughters. Clinton, 6 members Muhlenberg, 6 members Washington, 6 members -- includes adopted son and descendants Bryan, 6 members Carroll, 6 members Lincoln, 6 members -- unusually includes "what-ifs" for his two sons who died early and a "what-if" for grandson Abraham Lincoln II who died early. Johnson, 5 members -- unusually includes a son-in-law who became Gov of VA Jay, 5 members Rodney, 5 members Randolph, 5 members -- lost some members to the Jefferson dynasty (see above) Pinckney, 5 members Wadsworth, 5 members Lowell, 5 members Rockefeller, 5 members Madison, 5 members Hoar, 5 members Kean, 5 members Lamar, 5 members Stockton, 5 members Edwards, 5 members Trump, 5 members Eisenhower, 5 members Conkling, 5 members Corwin, 5 members Bache, 5 members -- arguably more if you merge the Franklin and Wainwright dynasties that are also descendant of Benjamin Franklin. Bankhead, 5 members Carter, 5 members Claiborne, 5 members Clark, 5 members Barbour, 5 members Bell, 5 members Bowie, 5 members Bush, 5 members Butler, 5 members Carnahan, 5 members Almost all of these dynasties are old school America. Very few begin in the 20th century. In fact, Rockefeller (politically), Trump, and Long (Huey P Long) are the notable exceptions. I'll now need fill out the politicians I added, and tag the Southern Unionists. @MrPotatoTed should be on track for rules on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcczar Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Update: Still filling out the new dynasty politicians. This is going to take me a lot longer than I expected. I think there's like 250 new people and I'm also having to do paid work. I'm going to push back the rules until Monday @MrPotatoTed because I don't think I'll be able to start them this weekend because of non-work-related things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcczar Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 One hilarious politician to draft is Billy Carter--Jimmy Carter's famously drunk brother. He starts as a 3 draft value, which is among the lowest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did run for office in Kenya, though I don't know if that count (He is described as Kenyan-American in the Wikipedia page.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 On that note, perhaps consider adding the notable children of Presidents even if they haven't entered politics in real life? Chelsea Clinton, the Bush twins, even Malia and Sasha Obama (in a post-2020 draft class)...giving the chance to create/extend dynasties at least one more generation. Notably, the Bush twins are independents in real life, and backed Hillary in 2016 (haven't seen who they backed in 2020 yet, but I'd imagine Biden).

I don’t really want to add anymore people for awhile. Already added thousands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough! Ideally, there will be an editor where folks can add/change whoever they want, but of course I understand that won't be in your control.
