Simpson family

"[...] Springfield's unending nightmare, the Simpsons."

- Mayor Quimby, describing how the Simpsons affected Springfield.

The Simpson family is one of the main families in Springfield, as well as the protagonist family of The Simpsons. The first known Simpson was Sven. Many families married in to the Simpson family and the Simpsons, in turn, married into many. Through marriages such as this, it is possible to trace a link between one of the state's richest and well-known family, the Burns family.

They had five children, which included Trixie and Garwood. Trixie married Gaylord Stemple and they had three sons. Garwood married Clowta Stillman, and they had four offspring.

They moved back to the US and Abraham met Mona. They had Homer, who married Marge Bouvier and had Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.
