The family tree of the Egyptian Nineteenth dynasty is the usual mixture of conjecture and interpretation. The family history starts with the appointment of Ramesses I as the successor to Horemheb, the last king of the Eighteenth Dynasty who had no heirs ). From Ramesses's line came perhaps the greatest king of the New Kingdom of Egypt, Ramesses II. He ruled for nearly 66 years and had many children. For a detailed list of the children of Ramesses II see List of children of Ramesses II.
After Ramesses II's reign the dynasty's (and Egypt's) grandeur declined and the later succession and subsequent rulers are unclear and confused. The parentage of Pharaoh Amenmesse and his exact relation to Siptah is not known.

Then bathed its body in the leaping lake.”
