The Baggins family lived in The Shire , mostly in or near the town of Hobbiton . Evidently aristocratic landowners, they intermarried extensively with the two titled families of the Shire, the Tooks and the Brandybucks . It seems likely that the Bagginses we the major landowners and leading family of the area around Hobbiton. They were seen as respectable (indeed, as more respectable than the aristocratic Tooks) until Bilbo Baggins set out on the quest for Erebor with Gandalf the Grey and thirteen Dwarves : when he returned he was seen as odd or queer, but also extremely rich. Bilbo adopted his "nephew" Frodo Baggins , who inherited the ''smial'' of Bag End after Bilbo left. Frodo himself was involved in the quest of The Lord Of The Rings , which ended the War Of The Ring . The Baggins clan traces their origin to the first recorded Baggins, one ''Balbo Baggins'', who was born in or near Hobbiton in 1167 of the Shire reckoning (2767 Third Age ). Bilbo is a great-grandson of Balbo, as was Frodo's father Drogo. After Bilbo and Frodo left the only recorded Bagginses are the descendants of Bilbo's great-nephew ''Posco Baggins'', although many other descendants of Balbo Baggins are also recorded, under the ''Sackville-Bagginses'', as well as Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck (through various interfamiliary marriages). The Baggins family tree is as follows: |
