a timeline and family tree of the mcgonagall family.

this is more for my own reference than anything, because i’m heckin tired of recalculating the ages of all of minerva’s relatives every time i reference them in a thread. this covers only three generations (minerva’s parents, her own, and her nieces’ and nephews’), though minerva also lives to have grandnieces/nephews and great-grandnieces/nephews. maybe one day i’ll add those too, but for now that would be way too much work.

#long post //#; that explains a great deal ( headcanons. )#; mcgonagall family tag #( this took.......forever )#( doesn't help that for the past yEAR i've been saying that rob was in his 1st year when minerva was in her 7th #but also that malcolm was in his 7th year (and rob thus in his 5th) when minerva first started teaching )#( which given that those dates are only 3 years apart APPARENTLY means they both got their hands on some illegal time turners #or some shit. SO I HAD TO FIX THAT. )#( some fun things to note: )#( 1. those death dates make it clear that elphinstone was less than a decade younger than minerva's parents whOOPS )#( that's what an 18-year age gap gets u. but they didn't marry until minerva was 47 so shhh it's fine )#( 2. minerva actually had one niece still at hogwarts for two years of harry's school career; a niece and a nephew graduated just before )
