Families of Chain of Gold

Mathew Fairchild by Cassandra Jean
Hmm. . . Who's Related to Who. . .
(AKA, a list of family connections in Chain of Gold (The Last Hours))

If you are like me, and it's been a minute since you've read all of the Shadowhunter books (although I am trying to reread TID), there will be a lot of characters to remember and mentally organize when you start Chain of Gold. Not only is there the multitude of characters from TID, but then there's their children as well. Now, you could go back to Clockwork Princess and look at that nifty family tree to help sort this all out. BUT, then you'll spoil yourself for who ends up with whom in this series.

So I've pulled all the relevant info and put in a non-spoilery form here! (Yes, I took one for the team and spoiled the relationship endings for the series. Now you don't have to be, you're welcome.)
**Name is a main character from what I know. . . 

CARSTAIRS
Some Carstairs parents:
--- Jonah Carstairs     +     Ke Wen Yu
------------------ James (Jem)
--- Elias Carstairs     +     Colette Verlac
------------------ Alastair
Lucie Herondale by Cassandra Jean
------------------ Cordelia

HERONDALES
Edmund Herondale    +     Linette Owens
--- Ella Herondale
--- William Herondale     +     Tessa Gray
------------------ James (Jamie)
------------------ Lucie
--- Cecily Herondale     + Gabriel Lightworm
------------------ Anna
------------------ Christopher
------------------ Alexander

LIGHTWOODS
Benedict Lightwood     +     Barbara Pangborn
--- Tatiana Lightwood     +     Rupert Blackthorn
------------------ Jesse (I'm guessing he's in this. . . )
--- Gideon Lightwood     +     Sophie Collins
------------------ Barbara
------------------ Eugenia
------------------ Thomas
--- Gabriel Lightwood     +     Cecily Herondal
------------------ (see above)

So the random tidbits to keep in mind:
  • Matthew Fairchild is Charlotte's son and James's parabatai. He is related to nobody else (I think).
  • Cordelia and Jem are cousins. 
  • Christopher, Thomas, and Jesse are all cousins. (Along with Anna, Alexander, Barbara, and Eugenia.) 
This is all very google-able if you wish to double check me :)
Thanks for reading!
