"A Candle" by Raymond E. Feist.
Poul Anderson gave us a series of stories and novels about Dominic Flandry and a novel about Flandry's daughter, Diana Crowfeather.
Raymond E. Feist gives us a short story about Diana's son, Dominic Crowfeather Flandry, and this second Dominic's grownup daughter, Celia. Dominic II and his daughter serve the Terran Empire while the original Dominic is still alive although his wife and daughter have died.
However, this is just one short story which I cannot really see as fitting into the continuity. And I think that CJ Cherryh's various offspring of Dominic Flandry in "Dancing on the Edge of the Dark" are even less plausible.

Kaor, Paul!
Correct, I found Cherryh's "Dancing" very implausible. Esp. the idea of humans like Flandry being able to have children by a nonhuman lady like Queen Gunli of Scotha totally unconvincing.
But I can imagine a grateful Empire giving an elderly Flandy an estate and the best possible medical care and antisenescence treatment.
Ad astra! Sean
