If anyone has the Unauthorized Autobiography, I was wondering which letter (s) is closest to O. Much appreciated.

Here is everything I've noticed on the Family tree:
A and B have C, who is Chas Snicket
C has D E and F.
Now D E and F cannot be Dewey, Earnest and Frank because in the Beatrice Letters, Lemony wrote in the margin of a letter from Beatrice: E. This was next to where she wrote, "Accusing me of being some villainess or another." This means that Jacques, Kit, and Lemony took their mother's last name.
D had G,H,I. E had J, K, L. F had M, N, and O. O is definately Olaf. I think the Man with beard but no hair and his Sister are Olaf's Siblings.

I don't agree, i know that generally Handler puts lots of little clue bits in but the way it is laid out is just like the alphabet, i think its just random and not thought about.

It also shows that Kit and Jaqueas are twins.

I think that E may be Esme, but, I also don't think that Olaf would date his aunt.

thats the snicket family tree not the VFD family tree, every memeber of VFD isn't related. I think...

I'm inclined to agree with you; however, the family tree is just labelled "The Family Tree," and a torn part in the bottom left corner reads "V. - volunteer". That and most of the individuals identified on the family tree are volunteers. There used to be a big debate about whether it was a Snicket family tree or a chart of part of V.F.D.'s structure, a recruitment diagram, perhaps; the series ultimately never resolved this, but there are arguments either way.

I don't think this family tree is the Snicket family tree,but a family tree of various V.F.D. members, who may or may not be related.

F had M, N, and O. O is definitely Olaf. I think the Man with beard but no hair and his Sister are Olaf's Siblings. If the man w/ beard but no hair and a woman w/ hair but no beard is Olaf's siblings, meaning Olaf's siblings are more sinister than him? Besides, I think it would be awkward (in Olaf's case) to be so considerate to his siblings. I mean, he had the chance to push them (his siblings) off the Mortmain Mountain.

Why does nobody here mention the fact that Miranda and Olivia are related, making the O=Olaf theory much less plausible ? Anyway M, N, and O may not be siblings at all... The name of the person supposed to be the son of Chas Snicket and the father of J, K, L begins with E, when we know for sure that the sibling's name is Jacob : therefore we can certain that the family tree isn't supposed to be a faithful genealogy at all... It's just something Handler added to make our brains explode (like pretty much anything else in LSUA).
And O is just next N, which is just next M.

Why does nobody here mention the fact that Miranda and Olivia are related, making the O=Olaf theory much less plausible ? While they're both Calibans, Miranda is a Caliban because - one presumes - she took her husband's name. Hence it would be Thursday and Olivia who are related. (You can, however, make an argument that Caliban is Miranda's maiden name and she either dropped or never took her husband's name in the first place; the name "Thursday Caliban" doesn't appear in the text.)

In TE, we are told that both the Baudelaires and the Snickets have a custom of naming chidren after people who have died. Perhaps other VFD families do as well. If so, might the Family Tree be a real genealogy, not of actual characters in the series, but of dead people after whom they are named?
(No, I'm sure Handler wasn't thinking that when he designed it. But I think it's a nice way of restoring consistency.)
