Historical sagas similiar to Michener and Rutherfurd

I'm looking for suggestions of historical fiction about places and families through the ages. James Michener and Edward Rutherfurd write the sort of books that I'm looking for. I'm familiar with 'Miami' by Mayerson and 'Vancouver' by Cruise. Any others? Thanks.

My first suggestion isn't a "saga' but if you liked Centennial by James Michener, you might try the novel Dream West by David Nevin. It is about John Charles Fremont and his expedition into the American West. Fascinating story!

I would also recommended most of the John Jakes historicals, especially the Kent Family Chronicles series also known as the "Bicentennial" series. As the series name indicates, it follows a family through 200-some years of US history. A bit corny but lots of fun!

Or, try the World War II trilogy by Jeff Shaara too, if you haven't already. So far I've read, and enjoyed, Rising Tide and Steel Wave as a fictional counterpoint to my WWII non-fiction reading. The trilogy features both fictional and historic figures as continuing characters.

Thanks. Good suggestions.

I really liked Centennial and the John Jakes books, so I would recommend the Awakening Land trilogy by Conrad Richter. (A lot of these were made into miniseries in the 70s)
Different time period, but I also really enjoyed Herman Wouk's WWII books.
It's not multi-generational, but the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is highly addictive,
Also not exactly multi-generational, and not for the faint of heart, but Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset is really good (it won the Nobel prize in 1928)

James Alexander Thom is a good author for historicals. His focus is on the growth of America from Madoc thru the American Revolution.

Thanks to everyone for the good suggestions.
