White Wolf based some things from real historical facts. The guy who wrote much of this stuff is sort of bankrupt now living in the South. Much of it is made up. You can find the sources by google. lol That is the only place I know of these references. If there are others send me the info please in private mail here.
My research deals more with the Scythians and the Tocharians. What I see is the reoccurance over the world with the light skinned, red haired, tall people who seemed to be nomadic and settled all over the world. It appears they either died out or moved around and left places after awhile, reasons unknown. You can find out about both of these groups in wikipedia or anywhere on the net. This is also the appearance description of the Tuatha Dé Danann. There legend states they descended on a mountain and did not come by boat. It is much like the story of the Gregori (Watchers).
I have done research into the De Vere family line and they say they and others, Euopean nobles are the real vampiric line. I am still in the works so to speak. They are the forebearers of the Order of the Dragon. The head of the House has written a book about all of this as well as Laurence Gardner has written many things; the information he secured from De Vere.
What I know from friends is that in Europe they don't speak about this type of thing. Yes, it is hush hush and names change and evolve. Tribal groups intermix and become something else or are known by conquering tribes as one name by one or another by someone else. An example would be the Dacians were known by that name and by others as Getae.
I have a family line of Molineux. It goes back to the Norse. They entered France with William the Great and spread out all over the British Isles. There is a large organization devoted to this family line and its variants and let me tell you there are many spellings for this name and some when they went into other countries entirely changed the name. This is part of the bloodline thing...changing of names and spellings. The things you mentioned seemed to be connected with gaming. I dont' get into that stuff. The clans in the game are all made up. They don't and have never existed. Write and ask the author.
In New Orleans it is the same with family bloodlines...they don't talk and even the younger generations don't like to be open and those especially connected to Masonry. Some of these things that are real aren't lost, they just changed location and names.
This is just something I know about from long researches. I cannot give you links. I would have to look through tons of notes and not all of these things can be found by a link.
