Notes: The family relationships between the five Republican consular families (Sophus, Blaesus, Longus, Gracchus, Tuditanus) is purely conjectural.
The plebeian Sempronii of the republic were in tribus Falerna. 
The Gracchi probably became Patricians in 29 BC, but these Gracchi are unlikely to be descendents of the Gracchi of the 2nd century BC, but are other (noble ) Sempronii who have taken the famous cognomen.
