Yesss.
I’ll also add “A Fine Balance” - one of my favorites!

I writer I like (who sadly died a few years ago), Robb Foreman Dew, wrote a trilogy about an Ohio family that spans most of the twentieth century: 'The Evidence Against Her, 'The Truth of the Matter', and 'Being Polite to Hitler'. Very character driven if sometimes a bit plodding. But very well written.

Jane Smiley's books-Some Luck, Early Warning and Golden Age.
It's a trilogy spanning 100 years of a family.
Truly is a mulitgenerational family saga.
