Thanks to all who gave me their input on books about the family tree.  Here's
the HIT>

Hi! How about Robert Lawson's "They Were Brave and Strong"?

Whos who in my family by Loreen Leedy (family tree, includes adpotion and
step parents)

What is a family? by Gretchen Super (ch 2 family tree)
In my family/en mi familia by Carmen Lomas Garza (bilingual)
All kinds of families by Norma Simon

How about...
Me and my family tree by Joan Sweeney ; illustrated by Annette Cable.
New York : Crown Publishers, c1999.
Using a family tree, a child explains how her brother, parents,
grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are related to her.
ISBN 051770966X (trade)

Have you seen Seven Brave Women by Betsy Hearne? It traces a American girl's
family through seven generations.

My Family Tree : A Bird's Eye View
by Nina Laden
This is one of my favorite authors/illustrators.
This is a fun book that deals with different issues
such as step-families, family trees, etc. I'd say it
can be used with 1st-3rd grade...

How about Henry and Mudge and the Family Tree by Cynthia Rylant?
The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco

Immigration Related
When Jessie came Across the Sea by Amy Hest
When the Relatives came by Rylant

I know of several: (the simplest) Who's who in my family-Leedy; do people
grow on family treee-Wolf; and the great ancestor hunt-Perl.
