Year: 1919
It has been ten years since the last round; time to add 10 years to everyone’s ages. First, roll 1 through 10 to see who is still living: 9 or 10 means that they have passed on. If they died older than 20 (daughters) or 22 (sons), roll below to see if they married.
*If a spouse has died and the surviving spouse is a husband, flip a coin:
***Heads, he remarries (go back to Round 1 and roll through his ‘new’ family)
***Tails, he does not remarry.
*If the surviving spouse is a woman under 45, flip a coin:
***Heads, she does not remarry
***Tails, she remarries (go back to Round 1 and roll for her spouse. [name_u]Flip[/name_u] another coin: heads she has up to 3 children, tails she has no children. If she has children, roll through them in Round 1)
*If the surviving spouse is a woman 45 or over, flip a coin:
***Heads, she remarries (go back to Round 1 and roll for her spouse. She will not have children by him)
**Tails, she does not remarry
~Stepchildren: If you want to really make this game even longer, by all means roll for stepchildren for second, third, etc. marriages. Simply go through Round 1 and roll like you are starting a new family. Delete the father or the mother (whichever spouse is of the same gender as the person marrying into the family), and simply list the stepchildren as DSS or DSD~
For children over 21, roll 1 - 6 to see if they are married: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 means they have married; 5 means they have not.

Only one child may marry into royalty; if you roll a 6 after a child has married into royalty, simply roll again
For girls, flip a coin after rolling for the rank of the spouse:
*Heads means that they are marrying a noble or his heir (your choice)
*Tails means that they are marrying a second, third, etc son of a noble (see styles for younger children below. If she was born a Lady and marries below that rank (her husband is The Hon. or Mr., her title will be thus: Lady FN MN(s) MaidenName LN, The Hon. Mrs. or Mrs. Husband’s FN Husband’s LN)

For non-royal matches, stop here and roll 1 - 4 for the number of middle names: 1 is 1 middle name, 2 is 2 middle names, 3 is 3 middle names, 4 is your choice of 1, 2, or 3 middle names.
Male names: Robert, John, James, Algernon, Charles, George, Harold, Kenneth, Arthur, Leonard, Anthony, Lawrence, Herbert, William, Gerald, Albert
Female names: Helen, Frances, Elizabeth, Anna, Thelma, Catherine, Ruby, Eleanor, Edith, Sibyl, Nancy, Marjorie, Dorothy, Margaret, Alexandra, Grace
WITH ROYAL MATCHES: If the age gap is ridiculous, ie. 24 year old Duke of York married to 31 year old lady, just choose a royal with a more realistic age gap. Remember, at this time, women were usually at most two years older than their husbands, while husbands could be up to 10 years older!
