No, they cannot have children. Vampires are sterile.
But they can lie to the player that they have children, just like they lie about their real name.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

I've had to deal with vampires quite a bit recently. I found 3 way to tell them apart... for now... (Toady has reworked the vampires)

A) Give the a nickname; Vampires won't display them
B) Give them a Custom Job Title; same as above
C) 4+ Former members of a civ, and probably ex-(leadertype) of a religion

How to deal with them:

My favorite is to use cages for justice then deconstruct the cage with the dwarf, build the cage into a danger room and hook it up to a lever. Release dwarf. It took 10 hits with Candy spike (masterwork; 10 spears) traps.

Or a vampire who had kids before the change

Lock every dwarf in their room. As soon as they get hungry or thirsty, you can let them go. Those that don't, are vampires. Much easier than making a drowning test chamber.
