Hi everyone! For you hardy souls following the Kern saga, I know the story gets pretty involved, and there are a fair number of characters, both major and minor. What with the story being posted over the course of half a year, I imagine it’s easy to forget who’s who and how they are related. So I thought at this point it might help to post my notes on Carmen’s family tree as of the summer of 2024, when the story takes place. So, here you go. Abuela and her descendants are shown in bold typeface.
