[[Category:The MacGregors characters]]
The MacGregor Family Tree documents the known genealogy of the fictional MacGregor family created by Nora Roberts. Beginning with Daniel MacGregor and Anna Whitfield MacGregor, the family spans four generations and serves as the foundation of The MacGregors series.
Unlike many of Roberts' series, the MacGregor saga follows the same family across multiple decades, with later novels focusing on the children and grandchildren introduced in earlier books. The family tree published in the Silhouette editions of the novels, together with information contained in The MacGregor Brides and The MacGregor Grooms, provides the most complete picture of the family's genealogy.

Family Legacy
Daniel MacGregor repeatedly describes his family—not his fortune—as his greatest accomplishment. In the memoirs that frame The MacGregor Brides and The MacGregor Grooms, he reflects that wealth can be lost, but a strong family endures. He takes particular pride in seeing his children marry, watching his grandchildren build families of their own, and welcoming great-grandchildren into the MacGregor clan. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
By the opening of The MacGregor Grooms, Daniel notes that Laura, Gwendolyn, Julia, and Mac have all married and started families. By the conclusion of the volume, D.C., Duncan, and Ian have also married, completing another generation of the MacGregor legacy. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Notes
- Daniel affectionately refers to Shelby Campbell's children as "honorary MacGregors."
- Anna MacGregor's wedding veil becomes a family heirloom worn by later generations of brides. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- The MacGregor tartan is incorporated into several family weddings. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Daniel frequently jokes that every successful MacGregor marriage was the result of his own careful planning.
