the real mccoy family tree

[c. rose]

How exactly were each of the Mc Coys related to one another. Were Luke, Little Luke, and Hassie cousins or brothers and sister?

First, we have Grandpa Amos Mccoy. His grandson is Luke. Kate is Luke's wife. Little Luke and Hassie are brother and sister. They are orphans but Amos is also their grandfather. So Amos really is "Grandpa" to everyone.

Pepino Garcia is their hired hand.

I am still confused. Are Luke, Little Luke and Hassie siblings if Grandpa is all of their grandpa?

Luke is the brother of Little Luke and Hassie. When their parents were killed Grandpa took over.

According to the pilot episode. Luke, Hassie and Little Luke are brothers and sister. When Pepino asks why both brothers are named Luke. Luke explains that when Little Luke was born his parents were so excited that they named him Luke, forgetting that they already had a son named Luke. As for Hassie, a later episode revealed that it's actually short for Tallahassee. It seems that at one time someone sent the family a postcard from Tallahassee, Florida, and they liked the name so much that they decided to give that name to their daughter.
