Little is known of Unas’ ancestry, and he doesn’t appear to be related to his predecessor, though there are no signs of dynastic upset at the start of his reign. We do, however, have a fair degree of information concerning his own family.

Unas took [[Nebet]] and [[Khenut]] as his principal wives, whom were buried in a double [[mastaba]] within his [[pyramid]] complex.  He had a good number of children, with [[Hemetra]], [[Unas-Ankh]], [[Seseshet]], and [[Khentkaues]] all attested as his children. In addition it is quite possibly that [[Neferkaues]] and [[Neferut]] were also from his line. However it would appear that, as Manetho claims, he left no surviving sons. For it would be another of his daughters, Iput, who would continue the royal line by marrying [[Teti]], the founder of the 6th Dynasty.
