Merrick Mayfair's branch of the family tree is the most difficult. I spent
several hours scouring Merrick and getting as much detail as I could. Therefore, you will see a lot of FNU (First Name Unknown)
or Merrick 3, or something like them. They are like "place holders" in generations.
This should be an extremely interesting project. This is the Mayfair branch steeped in somewhat different traditions, legends,
spirituality...
I'm going to do my best to come up with an accurate description of Merrick's branch of the Mayfairs. Hopefully, we can learn
even more about this branch of Mayfairs in the process!
October 2, 2024--My apologies!! This is me having been terribly forgetful,
but in reviewing these pages of the Parlor, clearly, I got sidetracked and had not returned to make sure the charts and lists
were accurate to Merrick Mayfair.
I have begun to reorganize the list of Mayfair Witches characters most connected to Merrick Mayfair.
Merrick's own family tree is somewhat a mystery, as the various ancestors of hers aren't as clearly outlined in the novel,
Merrick, as Mona Mayfair's family tree of the "Legacy" and "Fontevrault" Mayfairs.1
Before I begin the more detailed outlines of Merrick Mayfair's line, I want
to point out that her line traces back to the gens de couleur libres, or the free people of color. Early in her career
(1979), Anne Rice published a novel about the gens de couleur libres called The Feast of All Saints. To read
an overview of this novel, you will find it on this page of the Parlor: Other Novels By Anne Rice. To learn more about how the history of the gens de couleur libres in New Orleans is being preserved today, you will
find it on this page of the Parlor: Exploring New Orleans Architecture: Le Musée de f.p.c..
In 2001, this novel was adapted to the screen in a made for television film of the same name, starring the recently passed
away James Earl Jones. The film is one of the only two (the other being Interview With the Vampire in 1994) that Anne
Rice believed her her work had been adapted to the screen well. The Parlor would like to honor the memory of James Earl Jones,
an extraordinary actor whose talent was boundless by recommending to Parlor guests to watch his astounding performance in
2001's The Feast of All Saints.

This is an ongoing project. I hope you find the charts throughout this section of the
Parlor helpful in sorting out the large cast of characters in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches and the Vampire Chronicles.
