Genealogy: Descendants of Adam, according to Book of Jubilees

This genealogy is based on the Book of Jubilees. The Book of Jubilees is a text written before the Christian era, the in 2nd or 1st century BCE. The book was sometimes known as the Little Genesis. It gives many details not found in Genesis, such as Enoch and his involvement with the Watchers.

The Book of Jubilees is the only source I know of that mentions the unknown and unnamed women, whom the patriarchs in Genesis may have married. The Book of Jubilees gave names to mothers, aunts, daughters, sisters and cousins.
