APPENDIX C
FAMILY TREES
The names given in these Trees are only a selection from many.
Most of them are either guests at Bilbo’s Farewell Party, or their
direct ancestors. The guests at the Party are underlined. A few
other names of persons concerned in the events recounted are
also given. In addition some genealogical information is provided
concerning Samwise the founder of the family of Gardner, later
famous and influential.
The figures after the names are those of birth (and death
where that is recorded). All dates are given according to the
Shire-reckoning, calculated from the crossing of the Brandywine
by the brothers Marcho and Blanco in the Year 1 of the Shire
(Third Age 1601).
