New Scans of The Black Family Tree
 

As previously reported, J.K. Rowling donated a handwritten note, containing details about the Black family history, to Book Aid International for auction. New scans from the Italian Newspaper, La Repubblica, are now available to view. You'll find that areas of the Family Tree are still blurred, as per Jo's request.


Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron for the links!

UPDATE:
You can view the image directly here

The scan reveals several important things:
- One of Phineas's siblings names is Sirius, and another looks like Elladora
- Draco Malfoy was born in 1980, as suspected; Narcissa in 1955.
- Drusilla Rosier (?) looks like the name for Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa's mother, connecting the Malfoys to the Blacks.

First of all, it looks like the Longbottoms are on there and the name Potter is mentioned I think... Does anyone but me think that Jo is giving us a BIG GIGANTIC hint? it just seems like there are connections there that could fill in a lot of theories.. and, like everyone, i'm ITCHING to see what the blurred names are...hmm i have photoshop and a picture.. and an evil mind....
