Overview
From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.
Life
One office on record
Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.
What this means
As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.
Family
The family of Merneptah
Parents, spouses and children as the records give them.
Documented family only. A teacher, a successor or a patron is never drawn in this tree.

Family 20
What this means
A documented human family relationship. Not a succession mechanism, and not religious transmission.
Does not imply a right to an office · transmission of a teaching · a religious affiliation held by the whole house · continuous rule · a shared religious affiliation

How Merneptah connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
