I've hosted this game twice before, and now it's the time for the third one. I'll take 20 sign-ups (not including mine), that's the largest amount I can handle.
This congrats game will follow a family during a century. There will be 20 rounds and the each round has events from a 5-year-period. Genders of the children, grandchildren etc will be determined by tossing a (virtual) coin. Each person to be named will have his/her own namebank with ten names.
Here is the link for the last round of the previous game so that you can see how big the families will get.

Rules: - No spelling changes.
- Instead of using a namebank, you can name a son after his father to make a Jr. if you want.
- Feel free to use nicknames.
- Amount of middle names is up to you.
- No last names, I want to keep this as simple as possible.
- Do not hyperlink names.
-
Bold all new family members. Just type < b > before the text and < / b > after the text (but without the spaces).
This saves my time when families get bigger.- If you miss more than 3 rounds in a row without a notification, I'll have to drop you.
