I once did a chart of all the inter-related families in the EJO Abbey books and the connected series, which makes the La Rochelle families look relatively straightforward. By the end of the series you can link almost all the major characters in the books by blood relation, marriage, or guardianship.
I've seen the family trees that EJO herself did for the Kane family - really complicated, and shows her changing her mind so that the hint of illegitimacy in Secrets of Vairy was less apparent.
If you would like a copy of the booklet I did with Family Trees for all the main EJO characters, PM me.
