The Brown family consisted of Doctor Emmett L. Brown, his wife Clara, and their two sons Jules and Verne named for Jules Verne.

They were all involved in Doc's travels through time on their time traveling train.

Doc's ancestors were the Von Brauns, who immigrated from Germany in 1908 and anglicized their surname to Brown after America's entry into the First World War. However, nothing else is known about Doc's mother or father, save for that Emmett's father was a judge who had to take some time to accept Emmett's interest in science.

There is no evidence that Emmett Brown had any siblings, and he apparently was the sole heir of the family fortune, which was sufficient enough for him to develop a time machine.

The family owned the Brown mansion which burned down in 1962.
