What about the maids and servants from the Parkington's mansion?

[Greta]

Oh right! OK I've added them to the OP.

[purples]

This is awesome, Greta! Really helpful, thanks!

[kitkittredge]

Thanks! I didn't know that Mr Hawkins was the AG bear, that's really neat!

[agruthie08]

I didn't know what Nafy and the other animals were.
Thanks for telling me!

[Patti]

Well, there's a Mammy, on the Merimans page

[Laurel the Wood Faerie]

Oh, I'm glad I read this, I had been dying to know what Celine, Heather, and Paul Windmill were

[Nafyfan]

I've never, ever heard of "Gotz" dolls - were do you find them? Also, Laura Windmill reeeeaally, really looks like a Kirsten doll - are you sure she isn't?

The company that originially made American Girl was the Gotz company, back in the 1980's. You can visit their website here: goetzdolls.com/ (make sure you choose "English" or you will be reading the whole thing in German. ;D)
I think some place...i it was either Target or Walmart or somewhere, was selling some Gotz dolls for $20-$30. They were lower quality though.
Also, about Laura Windmill, American Girl used to make a JLY doll that was basically identical to Kirsten...blonde hair, blue eyes. She has since been retired.

I might get a TY "Al E Kat from Ebay

[Laurel the Wood Faerie]

Mammy and Rose of the Merimans need to be added

To go along with what Amy said, Laura is the AG of Today (AGoT, later renamed JLY) #3. She is similar to Kirsten but her wig is shorter and there are no "short hairs" that help hid the wig cap when the hair is styled in pigtails, etc.

Likewise, Angelica is a #17 and Alexandra is a #4. The codes, on AG, used to reflect those numbers however they changed in 2008.

What about the fox family

[Nafyfan]

Yeah, I didn't see them anywhere.
