Talk:The Families

Page name change
Dodo, don't be a dumb-assed bitch! They're call "Families" for fucks sake!!!!!!!!

Page should be renamed to "Families" gang. Not the Grove Street Families. Grove St Families is a specific set that likely won't event appear in GTA V. That's like calling the Ballas page "Front Yard Ballas" or something. Same for the 3d era page.


 * "The Groves" is seen writed on a wall. Dodo8 Talk

The name should be changed to just Famillies. Grove street was just a SET. It does not matter of Grove was seen on the wall, because again it was just a  SET. And also that was most likely an Easter egg. Hillside killers was also seen on the wall. The street Grove street might not even appear in V. Again Grove Street was just a SET along with OTHER SETS! The name should be changed to Famalies fot now. And if no obe decides to change it, then I will. GROVE STREET IS A SET NOT A GANG!!!!!~Strangle hold

And like I said Grove is just a SET! And that could have just been an Easter egg. Hillside Killers is most likely the name of one of the sets.That too was on the wall. ~Strangle hold

We can all speculate, add it to the article in brackets as the alternative name.

 * The online gaming sites confirmed that they are called Groves Street Families (or "Grove Street gang" at least). I don't see your point, it's not speculation anymore. Dodo8 Talk

Go home Strange Hold...
Strange Hold, you really need to take a chill pill. Just accept that Grove St. and Ballas are both returning, and possibly Los Santos Vargos too. Don't get so aggressive about it. But anyways did anyone else realise that the guy walking with Lamar when he says 'Haha Gangster shit!' is the same guy that is getting chased down the alley by police in the first trailer? Look at his face, its the same guy :) Sammyrock0087 (talk) 19:05, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

^^^I never said the Families or Ballas were not returning...but the fact that Grove Street is not the name of the gang, but just the Families as Grove street is just ONE SET. No one is being aggressive. This was stated in GTA SA. The gangs name is Families, while the sets are Grove Street, Temple Drive and Seville Boulevard. All three under the gang FAMILLIES. Its just that GTA SA focused more on the Grove Street set throughout the storyline. My god this isn't rocket science. If this is the case than the SF Triads should be called the Mountain Cloud boys since the the storyline mostly focused on them.

~Strangle hold


 * Yes, they are all families. But they are located in different places. If we would change all the names only to "Families", how would we know which one we are looking for? Dodo8 Talk


 * ^^^You know what you do not have to change the name if you feel it does not need to be changed. And I am sorry for being annoying. But I am just stating that Families is the actually name of he gang. While GSF was just the main and more powerful set of the Families. Ballas too had many sets too. If the GSF does return in V, they will most likley be a set again along with other sets. Im just saying Families is the name of the whole gang, while GSF was a set along with other sets. Again apologize for being annoyong. :P


 * ~Strangle hold


 * No problem, but next time try to be a little more calm (like in your last message). I hope you will keep checking the Wiki sometimes, and maybe even edit it. :) Dodo8 Talk


 * Strangle hold was, of course, entirely correct. However, we all know that Grove Street itself did return, but controlled by the Ballas. According to a conversation between Franklin and Jimmy, Grove Street was a set in the early 1990s, but they aren't around anymore. Jimmy wanted to know if Franklin was Grove Street and if Grove Street was a myth, and Franklin said that times have changed, that set isn't around anymore, and that he's "Families like they was." I figured that this was worth mentioning. wa&#39; DaHoHchugh chotwI&#39; SoH, wa&#39;&#39;uy&#39; DaHoHchugh charghwI&#39; SoH, Hoch DaHoHchugh Qun SoH. (talk) 21:08, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

Change name to families?
Nice edit guys. :) But told you guys it was just going to be called the 'Families'. Should the gang be changed to just that? Just asking.~Stranglehold


 * It should be, because I've seen some leaked footage and it's only been referred to as the Families. Continuing to call it Grove Street Families without any sources as to that name is pointless. I should note that in the same leaked video from an in-game show, that each gang was addressed by their full title, so "Families" is likely just the whole thing. Sure, there's still the chance that it's called the Grove Street Families, but no actual evidence points to that--all existing evidence points to simply the "Families" (and if any more than that, the Seville Families thanks to what appears to be an S above the "F" in their emblem). :D ( T C FF ) 01:01, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * ^^^Not only that but when the two sets were mentioned in the video, Grove Street was not mentioned at all. Remember that Grove Street was just ONE SET in GTA SA. This is what I've been trying to tell people. And the emblem of the gang is just an F. ~Stranglehold


 * No, it is fine. Kingrhem (Talk ★ Edits) 07:43, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * They might have originated from Grove Street, but now Grove Street is under Ballas' control. I agree with the rename. Los Santos Vagos should be renamed aswell. Dodo8 Talk


 * Yep the article should be renamed to "Families" or even "Families (gang)". The Los Santos Vagos (HD Universe) article should also be renamed to "Vagos" since this is their official name. --MOB-4-Life (talk) 19:53, August 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also Grove Street is possibly not in the game.Mobsta 23:31, August 26, 2013 (UTC)Strangle hold


 * I just changed the name and added some information. - Grove Street Saints

According to the TV shows, the gang is names The Families. The graffiti was most likely just an easter egg.

Grove Street is a part of The Families gang.

Dodo, don't be a dumb-assed bitch! They're call "Families" for fucks sake!!!!!!!!

Finally the name has been changed! Great work. Grove Street was NEVER the name of the gang whether it be 3D or HD universe. Grove Street was just a 3D universe set. And it has already been confirmed that Families was the actual name. Again good work.~Strangle hold

The gang was definitely called Grove Street in GTASA, but it was also its own set, along with Seville Blvd and Temple Drive. Check again okay Strangle Hold -_- Skitnies(Talk) 17:27, October 4, 2013 (UTC)

DNFG (davis neighborhood family gang?)
so ive always wondered why theres certain families wearing davis jerseys and yelling out "davis gang". i ran into 3 of them, all wearing davis jerseys, in the alley across from franklins house at night. one of them greeted me like most families, then one of them yelled "DNFG" and later another one who was talking said "people claiming n-hood, and aint even from davis". they called eachother "neighbors" too... in LA, that exact same slang (n-hood, neighbors) is used by the various crip gangs under the "neighborhood crip" alliance.

i could be wrong about the name but i know others have heard certain families yell out DNFG and seen the ones with davis jerseys. looks like theres definately another family set JCN (talk) 21:00, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm absolutely agreed. I added the section about this set on the page. Orto Dogge (talk) 22:44, March 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * I removed it because you started it with "despite not being mentioned", that screams speculation to me. If there is dialogue however, then it is mentioned, so you might want to reword that. Tom Talk 00:17, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

Swoon Unit
I just found the graffiti that says "Swoon Unit", just outside the car-wash near Franklin's home. It's bright green and it's in Strawberry, so it might be some kind of The Families set? I don't have any more proofs and won't put it in article, but maybe somebody else know something or want to make a little research? Thanks in advance. Orto Dogge (talk) 13:08, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

The Boss
Look I'm just saying if we going to put "The Boss" in the The Professionals as a gang leader, I think it would make sense to put the Families The Boss as a Leader of the Carson Avenue Set and put Unknown for other sets. User:3rd5aints4life August 12, 2016


 * As far as I am aware of, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that "The Boss" is a leader of the Carson Avenue Families. However, you may add "The Boss" as a possible leader of the C.A.F., but be sure to label it as such, unless you are able to provide evidence to support his presumed leadership.

I have added him. The online player only ever fights the CAF set in the Gang Attack, and he is the one that responds with the bounty. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 00:26, July 15, 2018 (UTC)

Do the Families have sets in Del Perro, or is it a glitch?
Yesterday, I was getting a taxi to the Sub Urban in Del Perro. I went once as Michael and once as Franklin, and on both journies, there was CAF member standing around. I took a screenshot of it, and you can see that he really is a CAF member because he's got a corkers top and a black bandana tied around his head. Earlier this morning, however, I visit it again by taxi, and I find another Families member, this time either an FDF or a CGF member. He had a green track jacket and was smoking weed. Can someone else have a look to see if it happens for you? I'm starting to think they have sets in Del Perro, as either a bug, an easter egg. PolishTheTortuga (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * This is likely a glitch caused by the "skip trip" feature when using taxis. I can only assume you must've used said feature when traveling from Families territory over to Del Perro. A similar phenomenon happens whenever using the skip trip feature in GTA IV when going to Liberty City from Alderney where Alderney cops spawn in place of Liberty City cops temporarily. Jibvander (talk) 10:24, 15 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, actually, I was travelling from Families turf. Like I said, I was trying to buy buy all the clothes I currently could, and the journey was from the Discount Store on Innocence Boulevard. Plus, members never appeared when I was visiting using my own cars. PolishTheTortuga (talk) 20:26, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
