Bagginses – one of the largest, most influential Hobbit Clans. At the time of Quest, Bilbo is indeed head of the family at the moment and the other relations are canon as well, his position strengthened by him being one of Gerontius “The Old” Took’s grandsons and a cousin of the current Thain. Camellia’s siblings and the part about the three years the position as head of a family can be held by the Thain, however, are entirely made up. I figured it would be a reasonable timeframe.
Bandobras “the Bullroarer” Took – son of Thain Isumbras II Took and with 4.5 foot a notable large Hobbit, large enough to ride an actual horse; famous for slaying a goblin leader in the Battle of Greenfields in T.A. 2747.

Bilbo’s rather unkind description of Bandobras has nothing to do with how Bandobras is viewed in the Shire, but his anger towards

The world we live in is full of heroes that are different shapes and sizes that people don't remember who they are a month after they do something.

The story starts from the side of Mr. Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo starts as a nervous & annoyed host. He is hobbit, & his folk are reserved, but kind & carefree. Hobbits love to accommodate company when the time arrives, but this night Bilbo was in a ruck. Spontaneously, 13 dwarves & Gandalf tediously trickled through the door in groups & demanded dinner. Bilbo was not expecting these unknown & unplanned visitors, especially the grand total of 14! They ate & sang all night, while little time was devoted to business, which was planned that night. Bilbo was exhausted, unpleased, & unaffiliated with the pressing event they gathered to discuss. He was only aware that Gandalf selected him to be the Burglar of the party, which just so happened to be a vast journey across Middle-Earth. Unbeknownst to anyone, this was the start of a haunting tale, which Bilbo would never overlook. The first prominent issue Bilbo had to resolve the trolls. The group utilized this to test Bilbo’s strength, courage, brains, & stealth. Throughout the story, Bilbo continues to earn his spot among the dwarves, while the party is continually slammed with additional problems, however, everyday & every challenge reveals more of the nature of the dwarves & of Bilbo. With his role concluded & the Battle of Five Armies won, the yearning for home was too much to bear. Bilbo decided to travel home & achieve his part in the adventure of a lifetime. Each dwarf had grown quite fond of Bilbo, for the journey wouldn’t have been a success without their Burglar. The travel home was bittersweet & was a wonderful memoir of his quest. Gandalf accompanied him all the way to his Hobbit Hole on the Hill in Bag-End. Can we label Bilbo a hero? If so, what kind of hero is he? Is he a hero in history or in the eyes of the dwarves? Was Bilbo a savior for the descendants to come or the
