{{User:Buddy13/sig}} I spent a lot of time on this, I'd love some feedback. I got the idea for the Mom branch from Wikipedia (and I copied some of the text). I'm still working on the Decapodian life cycle (I have to get a good pic of an adult decapodian who ''isn't'' in mating frenzy mode), but this one was a lot easier. When you see the Decapodian one, you'll understand why.
{{User:Buddy13/sig}} Done and ''done''. Now that the technical information is out of the way, we can talk about how pretty it is. Changes in this revision include renaming Enos to Enos Fry, relocating the Yancy-Branch, addition of the title (seemed like wasted space), and a general re-shifting to make it all fit on a relatively small space. I also added a small "futurama.overt-ops.com" thingy at the bottom so if anyone else uses it, they'll know where they got it from (and hopefully come here). '''[edit]:''' I ''still'' have the PSD, so future changes will be relatively easy, if ever new information is released (whether through comics or the new movies).


{{User:Buddy13/sig}} Oh, crap, I forgot Cubert! Good thing I saved the PSD. I'll stick him on there tomorrow.
{{User:Whaler on the Moon/sig}} Much better, well done. Now for Mom's sons: when Fry was unfrozen, his DNA test showed one living relative only - the Professor. Either Mom's sons are not in the database, or they are not connected to Fry and the Professor. A possible solution for their origin would be that Mom just went to a sperm bank or something like that.


One thing: Enos and Mildred were parents to Fry's father, that is Yancy Fry Sr., if I understood "Roswell that ends well" correctly. Fry yells at Enos' crotch: "Everything's going to be allright, Dad!"
== Should Enos really count as a member of the Fry family? ==


{{User:Buddy13/sig}} True, but I explained my decision in the text below [[:Image:Fry Family Tree.jpg|the image]]. If enough people disagree, though, I'll change it (though it really seems clear that Fry was wrong).
Enos was no longer Fry's grandfather.  Fry is now his own grandfather, so why is Enos being counted as a member of the family?  [[User:Cheddar Cheesia|Cheddar Cheesia]] 13:59, 19 January 2007 (PST)
:Apparently he is the origin of the Fry name, and the Yancys are named after his father etc. See [[Talk:Fry Family Tree]]. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 18:41, 19 January 2007 (PST)


{{User:Gopher/sig}} Whaler is right, Enos and Mildred are definately fry's paternal grandparents. And as for the mom thing... seems a bit too speculative to me personally.
== Delete it ==


{{User:Gopher/sig}} Also, previously in "The Luck of the Fryrish" when talking about the family name "Yancy" Fry's dad says: "Son, your name is Yancy, just like me and my grandfather and so on." Notice the specific exclusion of his father. This was done to avoid contradicting the assertion later (already planned, like most major events in the series) that Fry's grandfather is named Enos, not Yancy. They wouldn't have bothered otherwise. And you can't just dismiss what is explicitly claimed by a character in the show in favor of alternate speculation, unless there's [i]reason[/i] to suspect the character is wrong. Stupid or not, there's no reason to think Fry wouldn't know who his own grandparents were.
Plain and simple. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 00:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 
Edit- as for resemblances, Fry is his own father's father, meaning Yancy's paternal grandfather is... himself. So he takes after himself, rather than his dad. :)
 
{{User:Buddy13/sig}} Yes, but his mother's appearance! Just looking at the tree and the familial resemblances should make it clear. The only other explanation is that Yancy and his wife are related (which may explain some things, but seems a stretch). Just because they planned a gap in the "Yancy" line doesn't mean Enos fills it. They may have been planning to show another grandparent -- remember, the show's unfinished. The fact that Enos is never called "Private Fry" seems suspicious.<br />
As for the Mom speculation, yes, it is ''highly'' speculative. It's only included because of the apparent resemblance between the Professor and Walt and Ignar.
 
{{User:Gopher/sig}} Well, I don't want to argue all day, so I'll just say that I object. I think the tree should depict what we were told by the characters, with speculation that Fry was wrong being restricted to the comments.
 
Edit: Fry's parents ARE related. Since Fry is his father's father, Fry's mother is his father's great-grandmother.
 
{{User:Buddy13/sig}} "Fry's mother is his father's great-grandmother." -- I hadn't thought of that! Temporal paradoxes are confusing. Alright, I'll change it around.
 
== The Mom Branch ==
 
{{User:Buddy13/sig}} Okay, before I make the changes, I want to know if I should keep the Mom branch. I know it's highly, ''highly'' speculative, and probably wrong, but I felt like it was worth mentioning (and depicting, to showcase the physical similarities).

Should Enos really count as a member of the Fry family?

Enos was no longer Fry's grandfather. Fry is now his own grandfather, so why is Enos being counted as a member of the family? Cheddar Cheesia 13:59, 19 January 2007 (PST)

Apparently he is the origin of the Fry name, and the Yancys are named after his father etc. See Talk:Fry Family Tree. - Quolnok 18:41, 19 January 2007 (PST)
