Aleran Familiy Trees

Someone asked for some family trees for the Aleran Noble Houses, and I thought it sounded like fun. The trees I came up with are probably incomplete (I tried to include House colours and mascots, but I can't find some of them) and I wouldn't be surprised if they have some errors in them, but here it is in any case (banners and borders snitched from the fantastic in-text map):
By the way, is there a protocol/rule for when to refer to someone as, for example, 'Kalarus Brencis' as opposed to 'Brencis Kalare'?

Oh - (Minor) SPOILERS for First Lord's Fury, if you haven't read it...

It seems to be family name first -- so Max is Antillar Maximus. Also, it seems like acknowledged bastards have a different variant on the family name (Max is Antillar, while Crassus is Antillus).

Since I'd imagine Aleran is a variant of Latin, and most characters seem to retain their Latinate names, I'd bet that the names change case as all Latin nouns do.
