[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] .. since i believe that when he was mentioned, his brother was actually already George Samuel Kirk Jr..you be thinking of George Samuel Kirk III (the third) for a descendant of Kirk's nephew.. not surprisingly, Kirk's family tree is a messy continuity situation..trolling my fandom sources, we know that Kirk was born to George Samuel and Winona Kirk, names established in many novels. GR's TMP novelization states that the 'Samuel' was the name of his paternal grandfather. According to Diane Carey's novels. G.S. Kirk Sr was a Commander in starfleet, security division.. he appeared as such in a recent 'Janus Gate' novel as well.. this invalidates the Gold Key comic 'fun page' bio in the early 70s that stated his father was Colonel Benjamin Kirk of some sort of space service.. (of course, since an episode stated the his brother was G.S. Jr, its obvious his name wasnt 'Benjamin')... GS Kirk Sr was lost inexplicably when the ship he was on vanished.. Kirk's mother died in the years between TMP and TWOK according to 'Time for Yesterday'.. this might explain Kirk's time on the farm on those years as depicted in 'Generations' (the book also stated the farm had burned down, but it was intact in 'Ashes of Eden' and several other sources.. possibly a single building burned and left the farmhouse and barn in that book intact. Peter Kirk was depicted in a WildStorm comic as being a scientist like his father, with a grudge against Kirk that he eventually got over, however another DC story portrayed him as obsessed with his father's death, going insane and stealing a ship to illegally time travel back to 'Operation -- Annihilate!' to try and prevent his fathers death, only to become infected and kill himself in the sun (the story contends it was the grown Peter who died in the sun in the opening of that ep) this story was ridiculous and easily dismissed, especially in light of other stories portraying Kirk living. the novel 'Sarek' portrays him as choosing a Starfleet career, and beating the Kobayashi Maru (he IS a Kirk after all...).. this would loosely fit with the earlier WS story, just not very well another DC story portrayed Kirk on vacation with his 3 nephews, cant remember much about what happened though. finally, in the TNG era, one of Kirk's nephews had a granddaughter named Jamie who was a Starfleet ensign assigned to DS9 in the 'Blood and Honor' story written by Mark Lenard. kinda hokey, but not out of the realm of possibility. [/qb][/QUOTE]Now that I didn't know. Maybe I'll just change the name to something completely different and avoid the confusion. BTW, the fact that Jim's Brother is a Jr. isn't stated in the Encyclopedia, so where did this reference come from? [/QB][/QUOTE]
