I've noticed you were looking for Gilnean families for your "little" project (If it can still be called that!), so I'd be happy to oblige. Essentially, if the family has noble ties from times shortly after leaving Strom or commoner ties some four hundred years after the end of the empire, they're open to any Gilneans, although the former will have much, much more distant ties and possibly much less than the commoner ties.

Brief History  The Chesterhill family seems to be a common-born family from the port town of Keel Harbor, and they have lived there for generations. Unknown to them is that roughly seven centuries in the past they lived in the town of Edenford and were the noble house of Chester, founded by Gilnean war hero Gaelik Chester nearly 1145 years before the current day. Gaelik Chester was granted the Barony of Edenford and the rank of Lord Commander in the Gilnean under the king of Gilneas, Aderic I.

Under Lord Edward Chester, the entire family was killed save his wife, Lady Daphne Chester, and her unborn son. After escaping with her life, she changed her name slightly and escaped to Keel Harbor to hide from those who would've seen her dead. Since that day, their ancient roots were a secret kept well-hidden. So well, they were eventually completely forgotten until a few short years before the construction of the Greymane Wall, where the late Sebastian Chesterhill and his friend Anthony Oaksworth started to put the pieces together.

Sebastian never really managed to finish the job, unexpectedly finding his end by the hand of the "Starlight Slasher". He kept all of his findings in his study, which he kept locked, but his son, forced to leave Gilneas because of the Forsaken invasion, never got the chance to investigate and is still unaware, while his daughter has gone missing and is believed to be deceased. What he'll do when - or if - he finds out is unknown.

Anyways, great job with this! Must've taken a long time to put it all together, and it's nice to see that lots of people are interested.
