Tonight in London, the Black Family Tree that Harry Potter author JK Rowling sketched and donated to Book Aid International was on display for the public to preview before tomorrow's auction. A report by a fan who attended the preview is now available online, with additional names and details that were previously withheld.
Here's a tidbit of the fan report regarding those seven names that were burned-off -- the "black sheep", as mentioned in Order of the Phoenix (numbered to match with those marks on this image of the tree):
The fan report, with a full listing of the other members of the Black family, is now available at HP Lexicon
. For additional information regarding tomorrow's auction of this JK Rowling sketch, please visit Bloomsbury Auctions.

OH MY GOD THAT THING IS SO COOL!!!!!!!! That is just so awesome I can't even describe...It's so neat that she takes intrest in making things that are related to the books.
She could come out with a Harry Potter series of Stuff Mentioned in The Books.
Like the family tree, the other books (like the Standard Book of Spells, except instead of doing the grades she could just do a Household book of useful spells or something)
I think that would be so wicked...

Wow, love it!!! So many facts in one little tree, the Blacks, the Malfoys, the Weasleys, the Potters, the Rosiers and the Lestranges are all linked together either by marriage or birth. Great to see.

I think the list is really funny. Like everyone said, it provides more information. The more information we have on Harry Potter, the better.

That is so cool! I wish I could have gone to see something like that but it would take a lot of effort and I doubt it would happen for me, so it was nice of this person to share this info with us. I wonder if any of it has to do with the seventh book?

I'm so happy that we can finally see all of the missing names. It is cool to see how all the wizarding families are related to each other.

Very interesting stuff. I love family trees and the Black's couldn't get any weirder or more intriquing! Very cool. I'd love to get a good look at it.

That gives so much more information on the Black family. I wish I could get a backround like that on everyone in the book.

I think that's awesome that Jo actually had all of those generations of purebloods planned out in her mind. It's cool that we now know who the seven people that were burned off were. Thanks to the fan who found this out.

I just saw the Black Family Tree - it looks extremely interesting. I wish I could have participated in the auction, though. It wouldhave been nice.

Man, we've been reading about this for so long . . . finally we know that Daniel and his family bought it . . . I wouldn't have bought it, to me it's a bit of a waste, if it has nothing to do with the series I wouldn't buy it, but that's me
