But was it fun? And were there magic powers involved? If you have things like, "OMG, character's grandmother was an Alton, s/he might have the Alton Gift!" it's a fantasy of geneaology. If it's just that character A's marriage to character B has political implications, it might just be Byzantine politics. Also, there should be characters in the first book who might not show up in the last. Having to consult is a little dubious, but wanting to consult marks a book as being a fantasy of genealogy.
