Of particular interest is the behavior of the critical orbits of function families with one or more parameters. The simplest of such families\, z^2 +c\, is well-known to define the famous Mandelbrot set fractal as the set of c-values for which the unique critical orbit is bounded. In this talk we will examine the function family R(z) = z^n +b +a/(z^d)\, and we will explore old and new results establishing the location of baby Mandelbrot sets in parameter space for increasingly general versions of this family. In the most general case\, which we call maximally generalized McMullen maps\, this family has multiple independent critical orbits\, and the dynamics in this case are not yet well understood.
