I suspect this as well, based on others' theories that have opened my eyes.

I think however that the tree will always remain as obscure as the 
family tree of any god/gods. Gods seem to have multiple 
fathers/mothers/offspring and these change depending on the story or the 
teller. And after all, once you discover everything there is to know 
about a god, he/she's not really a god anymore. Just another 
species/monster/genetic freak!
