Is there any reason to assume those people are related though? Or are you basing this entirely on their names?

Having looked up the characters, the "family groups" you've suggested are rarely from the same town, and some of the characters you're proposing to be parents of adult children don't seem likely at all to me. (eg. Kee-Satt, the Moonkeeper miner from a sidequest chain.)

It's just as possible that there are common recurring name elements, and you can't guess relatives from their names any more than you could assume everyone in the real world with the same common surname is related.

Or the names might just be something other than family names. As covered above, Mao-Ladd is "Mao" and Lue-Reeq is "Reeq", so we can't even be sure if there's a consistent individual-name and family-name element, or which one is which.
