Tree family would make it the family of the tree (as if the tee were alive), or the family by the name Tree (Mr and Mrs Tree, and the little Johny Tree), or the species of a kind of a tree.
It should be family tree, because it is the tree of this family (not literally, of course, but genetically).  |

A "tree family" would be a family that lived in a tree (like a treehouse) or a momma tree and papa tree and a few baby trees.
"Family tree" is correct |
