Hmm.. true. I initially dismissed the two of them as random farmhands, but apparently they were both present at family reunion flashbacks. Added them to the tree as brothers to Granny Smith.

A while ago, I made this post regarding a possible layout of the Apple Family's family tree. Now some time has passed, and the tree has grown larger,and is now a lot less "made in paint" I present to you; the newly updated Apple Family Tree 2.0!

Why, yes, I do like Applebloom Source: Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 Source: Call of the Cutie Then there's this.. Source: Friendship is Magic: Part 2

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I read through the 19 pages of comments in this thread, 'cause I didn't. I am however going to shamelessly give my take on this question, which may or may not have already been given by somepony else. Applejack: "Ah, shoot. I was just a little filly. Even littler than 'yall" Alright, so this obviously tells ut that "Flashbackjack" was younger than the present day CMC, including Apple Bloom. But wait, speaking of Apple Bloom, where is she? When young Applejack leaves the farm, she is nowhere to be seen, and neither are the parents that would be neccesary for her to be born later. In my mind, the logical conclution here would be that Apple Bloom has already been born, and is simply too young to be present with the family. I'd say a year, possibly younger. This means that the timespan between the story and the present is roughly the same as Apple Bloom's age. Give or take a year, we get this approximate: AJ-AB<AB, or AJ<2AB Now in English that would mean that Applejack is rougly Twice Apple Bloom's age possibly a year or two younger than that, depending on how much younger than Apple Bloom "young Applejack" looks. If Apple Bloom is 10-13 years old, for example, Applejack would be 18-25. This is what makes the most sense to me in the context of the show and the characters. I realize of course that this does not conflict with the already established concencus of the forum, but it's always nice to have some hard facts to back this stuff up. Besides, using the established math, I can conclude that Spike and the CMC is roughly the same age, as his birth is in fact shown in the flashback itself. As for the others... I'd say Fluttershy is the oldest, at about the same age as Big Mac. This is purely based on them being about the same size in the flashback. My opinion on age does not really differ from others' but: Fluttershy(23)>Pinkie(22)>Applejack(22)>Rarity(21)>Twilight(20)>Rainbow Dash(19)

I don't necessarily think Apple Bloom is adopted, but that Applejack and her could share one parent, rather than two. Oops, seems I meant to say half-sister. My bad Hm.. that is a good point. Though I suppose Manehatten is a big metropolitan area, there is a possibilty that the two families are closer than I thought. This tweet: https://twitter.com/orangemeerkat/status/274233879198568449 seems to prove that they are not direct family at least. There is however a possibility that the tree looks more like this: It would make Babs the Oranges' niece, as well as adding another sibling to an unknown parent's side. This really is what would make the most sense. Yeah, this is my main headcanon now. Thank you for the input

I overanalyze. It's kind of my thing. So when the episode "Apple Family Reunion" aired, I started contemplating on how the Apple Family's family tree would look. This conundrum had a lot of facts regarding names, yet very little actual information about the family as a whole. Recently I jotted this down: (Names of unnamed characters are based on fan names in the My Little Wiki) Horizontal lines mean married/couple/had a filly/colt together, while vertical/diagonal lines are referring to a parent/child relationship. As you plainly can see, the tree is far from complete, and I hope future episodes can fill in some of the gaps, or alternatively add new ones. There's also this alternative version: This is referring to the possibility of Applejack and Apple Bloom being step-siblings half-siblings. Solely based on Babs Seed being referred to as "your cousin" and never "our cousin" by Applejack. No other pieces of evidence to support that, but it's certainly a possibility! Now I turn to the forum for feedback and opinions. I'm certaily interested in having a discussion about this. Ps: If anypony knows about some kind of "family tree program" that I can put my data into, that'd be appreciated. Paint looks okay and all, but... meh.
