The Simpson tree can be found on the inside of the front cover, while the Bouvier family appears on the inside of the back cover. An interesting note is that [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] is included in the Simpson tree as [[Abraham Simpson|Grandpa's]] fourth cousin via marriage. Homer is descended from Scandinavians and American Indians, which was even mentioned in the episode "[[Little Big Girl]]", while Marge is descended from the French. Another interesting note is that despite Amos Graycomb and Moselle Stemple marrying and having four children together, they are in fact second cousins.

Several episodes have featured Simpson or Bouvier ancestors, and they generally look like they do in the Family Album. There are notable conflicts with more recent information from the TV show, as the book was published in 1991. Homer's mother's name was revealed in future episodes as [[Mona Simpson]], not Penelope Olsen (or Simpson). In her first televised appearance, "Penelope Olsen" is mentioned as one of her aliases while on the lam. Also, Marge's mother's name was revealed as [[Jacqueline Bouvier]], not Ingrid Gurney (or Bouvier).
