Fry's time travel means that Yancy, Sr's paternal grandmother is his wife, Fry's mother. And not only did Fry become his own grandfather, he made his father his own grandfather as well. An infinite loop results: Fry is his own grandfather, great-great-grandfather, great-great-great-great-grandfather and so on. Confusingly, this also means that Yancy, Sr., is married to his own grandmother. This abnormality is the reason Fry lacks the Delta Brain Wave.

The paternity of Mom's kids has never been revealed, but in Mother's Day she describes Professor Farnsworth as "the only man I ever loved". (There is also some resemblance between the Professor and Mom's children.) However, the same episode also claims that their relationship fell apart 70 years before the events of the show; Mom's children appear to be in their late thirties, however they may be older seeing as how people don't age as fast in the 30th century. Mom herself would have been too old to bear them naturally 30 years ago, so those who don't consider the slower aging process of the 30th century often assume either advanced 30th century obstetric technology or, perhaps, adoption. Their inclusion in the family tree is entirely speculative.

Mom's third son Igner (the rather dumb one) is the illegitimate son of Prof. Farnsworth.
