A doubt!!
 
Dear friends,
 
Will you please help me to understand which of the following is correct?
 
1. The Simpson Family Tree
2. The Simpson �s Family Tree
3. The Simpsons � Family Tree
 
I �ve seen it written in three different ways, so are the three of them possible? If so, which one is more usual?
 
Thanks  a lot,
Elisabete

1 and 3 are both possible.
2 is the singular form, and it isn �t only one Simpson, so it �s definitely not correct.
 
I agree that the third is more usual, but the first isn �t uncommon.
