Even though Tyson tried to run away from the family legacy, he is incredibly proud of it; that a prominently Jewish family managed to preserver for so long.
The Delaney family have been teaching at Cambridge almost since the university was founded in 1209. However, for the moment*, the Delaney family tree can seen going back to 1615 in the miscellaneous navigation, under the page tree.
The family tree can be viewed in a dozen ways, but the recommended settings for ease of navigation would be: No photos, Parents: 5, Children: 5, Others: 5, and either Life Dates or Profession.
Points of interest within the Delaney family tree:
- The (relevants part of) the family trees for Rosie Delaney, Colonel Sebastian Moran, and Kimiko Bùi.
- The history of the two brothers that Tyson’s brother (Jethro Andrew Delaney) is named after: Jethro Delaney and Andrew Jeremy Delaney.
- This is also the point where the adopted Indian branch of Tyson’s family comes in and the Poppy Roll bakery is founded.
- The longstanding family friendship with the Murdock’s, which eventually leads to Tyson’s Godson Carver.
- The scandalising tale of Alice Delaney and the founding of the Taste of Tangerine private girls’ club.
- The Romani/Jewish branch of the family that came from Central Europe.
- The average life span for those born with the surname Delaney has been 56.2 years, and approximately 27% of those born Delaney have been female.
- The Polish part that fled Europe with Tyson’s grandmother during the war and Anne Samantha Willaim’s family, who’s farm took in Lily’s puppies.
- The maiden names of everyone who married into the family can be seen. More specifically, they can be seen as Jewish surnamed. The Delaeny family is Jewish. Ethnically and religiously at every branch of the tree.
- A noteable exception is Clark Delaney who converted to Christianity for his wife and was, more or less, blacklisted by the family.
- His grandson - Lord Jackson Delaney, born Jackson Partridge - converted back to Judaism and was welcomed back into the family.
- Miriam Delaney who sold off the majority of the Delaney family land to help local farmers, reducing the manor’s grounds to their current size.
- The bloodthristy mercenary who was cut down by his brother-in-law and the secrecty female soldier who reached the rank of Corporal.
* Tyson’s family tree will be periodically updated as new members join his family, as people die, and going back further into history inevitably.
However, crafting the relevant parts of his history around events that would have been happening at the time is a long process and the headcanon marathon must go on.
