They say that all families have to begin somewhere — and this one begins in the small coastal city of Ärnköping in the south east of Sweden, with a handsome cinnamon haired man called Matias who one day early in the October of 1994, married a blonde beauty by the name of Ingeborg and the two were happily married until May 13th 2056 when she unfortunately passed away.
Their union produced two sons, while the two both fell for American women, it was the youngest of the two, Lars Edvard — most often referred to as Eddie — that married almost a year before his elder brother Joey had.
Being the first married also inevitably led to Eddie and his wife Grace bestowing upon the couple their first grandchild — Marléna Ingrid, who hoped originally to marry the lead guitarist of Eliza Borman, but when he was once again unfaithful to her — whilst she'd been coming to tell him she was carrying his children, no less — she finally realized it wasn't a healthy relationship that she had with him, so she decided to move back to her father's hometown and soon fell in love with Henrik Solberg — the oldest son of one of her far's best friends, Ray — who adopted the twins Marléna had borne to Chris Loud-Sharp shortly after they married, they would eventually have six children together; Quadruplets born in the summer of 2056, then a set of twins early in the autumn of 2061. In age order their children are: Erik; Ingrid, Oskar, Matt, Freddie, Liv, Ally & Löki.
Joey had married Crista a little over a month and a half before the birth of his brorsdotter Marléna, and six days before his own thirty-third birthday, his first child was born — also a daughter — Linnéa Elisabeth, she would eventually marry the bassist of Eliza Borman, Jeremy DeMartini (their relationship, of course, being perpetuated by Marléna's adept ability of matching her relations) they had two sons, Stevie and Walt. Next to be born was Eddie and Grace's son Karl, who helped run his wife's family's dance studio. He'd married Marisol Reyes and had three children: A son named Lionel, but was Leo to all and sundry and much younger twin daughters, Jenny-Lyn & Rosie.
Next was the older son of Joey and Crista, Anders, who whilst in the process of attending Baronstown University in New Jersey from which he was a top graduate of the Law School — met and fell for the cousin of both Marléna's ex and Astrid's husband, Linka. He had swiftly risen through the ranks of the local police force and now at the age of 39, was the Deputy Sheriff, whilst his wife ran one of the most successful cafés in the town. The two were blessed with two children; their daughter Kallie looked like her mother, but had her dad's personality, whilst her little brother Rico, was a mix of their parents in both appearance and temperament.
Next was Astrid who had fallen for the co-lead guitarist of Eliza Borman, Robbin — though he rarely plays shows nowadays, preferring the quiet suburban life with her and their children: Ragnar who is fearlessly ambitious and not prone to doing things half-heartedly, He has always been protective of his younger sister Izzy, who takes after her father with her quiet, unobtrusive nature.
Next was the indisputed favorite grandchild of Ingeborg — Antonio, who preferred the diminutive form of his name and took over the Royal Woods arm of Lannerbäck guitars from his father — which he ran with assistance from his nephew Ragnar. Tony himself, married Estelle Spokes, and has two young kids with her, Ralph and Jessy.
Then are the twins of Joey and Crista — Stellan is married to Layne Rhoads and shares a daughter called Layla with her... they also moved to the suburbs of Cromonto in Canada a few years ago.
His twin sister Inga also eventually had to move to Sweden due to her husband receiving employment in a major architectural firm located in the country's capital. Their union produced three children; Jägare, Willa & Lukas.
Next are the two youngest children of Eddie and Grace — Firstly there's Gustave, who is still Gus to everyone — is a high ranking enlisted officer in the Army and has two sons and a baby daughter with Lotus Rhoads — the identical twin sister of Stellan's wife Layne — Lemmy; Petey, and Betty.
Then there was Katie who married Annabelle Loud — and they live with Annabelle's mother in Manhattan's central district with their two pint-sized entitled crotch-goblins Mary and Macy.
Last is Gunnar who preferred to focus on his career, but saw his sister Inga's and cousin Marléna's children on an almost daily basis.
So from Matias and Ingeborg's two sons, came 11 grandchildren — and twenty-eight great-grandchildren.
