Sons/Grandsons & Daughters/Granddaughter is because EVERYONE (biological) is SOMEONE's child as well as a grandchild. That is just a fact of biological life. Even if they don't appear in the story, the very fact that they are alive means they had parents, who themselves had parents.

To include every character which fits these categories would mean they would be HUGE.

I'll give you an example. A struggle I had with one of the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial wikis was the use of Categories "Humans" and "Aliens". It was stupid. EVERYONE except for ET was Human. And ET was the only Alien on the Planet (worthy of a page, we hardly saw his crewmates). So one category would have every page except one, and the other would have ONLY ONE page in it. That's just silly. This thread is basically dead since each of the categories has been purged as instructed.
