10 Members Of The Simpsons Family You Forgot Existed

Everyone knows Homer and Marge, Bart and Lisa, Maggie and Grandpa - but what about the rest of the family? The Simpson clan has grown over the years. In fact it has probably grown a lot more than you even realise. There are aunts, uncles, cousins, distant relatives and great this and that's going back generations. A lot of that growth has been out of necessity, as the show visits the past of characters like Homer and Grandpa, and explores past relationships. In fact, the Simpson family has grown to the point where there are multiple websites that track their family tree right down to every second cousin, no matter how minor - turns out it's a pretty large family tree that the yellow family from Springfield have. Many of the extended family characters are throwaway gags and joke references (although even some of those can be pretty entertaining), while some come from the comics, which many fans forget exist, and don't really add much to the show. Some, however, have had more important roles, even if for just an episode or two. With that in mind, here's a look at the extended tree of the Simpson family, featuring ten Simpson family members you barely know - if at all!
