Behind the scenes

According to Clint Eastwood: Hollywood's Loner by Michael Munn, a prolific biographer whose work has been treated with considerable scepticism for their accuracy, Clint Eastwood was approached with and declined a $10 million offer to cameo as "Illinois Jones", the long-lost elder brother of Indiana Jones, during the early development of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Indiana Jones was later paired up against a globetrotting conman going by New Jersey Jones who claimed to be the archaeologist's brother in Indiana Jones and the Sargasso Pirates. There, Indiana Jones asserts that he's an only child.

Unfilmed bookends for Young Indy episodes "Palestine, October 1917" and "Istanbul, September 1918" would have shown other relatives of Indy, such as his great-granddaughter Alison in the former and his grandson Charlie (along with his fiancée) in the latter.

A cousin Lyle was to be a character in Young Indiana Jones and the Mask of the Madman, a book that went unreleased but its summary was still archived on online shopping stores.

An attempt to make Vicky Prentiss, one of Indiana Jones' old flames, part of the Jones family was made by Old Indy bookend actor George Hall, who campaigned for a two-hour series finale for The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles where Indy and Vicky would marry.

Over the long-gestating development of what ultimately became Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, several potential members of the Jones family came and went through the scripting process. Jeb Stuart's Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars script had Indy marrying Dr. Elaine McGregor at the end of the film rather than Marion Ravenwood. When Frank Darabont's Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods screenplay paired Indy and Marion instead, it led subsequent writers to establish them as the parents of a thirteen years old daughter. However, this early iteration of a character who would evolve into Mutt Williams in the finished version was altered during revisions at Steven Spielberg's request as he felt he'd be retreading ground that had been covered with Dr. Ian Malcolm's daughter Kelly Curtis from the director's 1997 film The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
