Why is it called a "FAMILY TREE"?

In response Yankee Carolyn to her Publication

I've always thought it's because a family has the same roots but different branches 🌿

oh that's a good metaphor!
i like that.
i was thinking maybe it comes from symbolism in Genesis where the DNA is the Tree of Life.
