A. Nancy Drew: was a teenage female detective who began adventuring around the 1930s between the ages of 16 and 18. She had titian colored hair, which is brownish-orange color ranging from medium to dark. And she lived in a town called River Heights (which may or may not be in Illinois.)

1. Carson Campbell Drew
Bio: Carson Drew was the father of Nancy Drew. He was a single father as his wife "died" when Nancy was young. He was a former district attorney and now worked privately.
Connection: The 1930's version of Carson Drew was seen in most of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories by Carolyn Keene, published between 1930 and 2003. He was also shown in Chelsea Cain's Confessions of a Teenage Sleuth and the Bonita Granville films' of the 1930's.
2. Constance Anne Drew nee Austin
Bio: Constance Austin was the wife of Carson Drew and the mother of Nancy Drew. She didn't die and leave Carson a widower. Instead, she was a suffragette. Following her beliefs she left her husband with their three year old daughter. Later, she married a man named Ko Sato, calling herself Ai Sato.
Connection: The 1930's version of Constance Drew is mentioned in two places. She is first mentioned in the Nancy Drew Scrapbook by Karen Plunkett Powell where it was learned that her maiden name is Austin. The second mentions came from Chelsea Cain's Confessions of a Teenage Sleuth where it was stated that Constance was a suffragette, that she lived, and remarried.
3. Eloise Drew
Bio: She was Nancy's aunt and Carson's sister. She considered moving in with her brother and her niece when Constance "died", but decided against it when her family hired a housekeeper by the name of Hannah Gruen. Instead, Eloise remained in New York- teaching at a private school. Knowing how skilled her niece was in solving mysteries, she would send Nancy cases. Sometimes, Eloise would even help Nancy solve them.
Connection: Eloise Drew had made appearances in the Original Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, the Nancy Drew Digests, the Nancy Drew Casefiles, and even a Couple of Her Interactive Video games.
4. Christopher Drew
Bio: Nancy stated that Christopher Drew was her uncle. That means his was either her father's brother or her father's uncle. Uncle Chris was married and I believe his was captain in the coast guard.
Connection: The only book that he had been mentioned was the Nancy Drew Hardy Boys Super Sleuths #2 by Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon.
'5. Russel Drew
Bio: Russel Drew was Nancy's grandfather and Carson's father.
Connection: There were two sources that confirm his existence. One was the Nancy Drew Scrapbook and the other was The Secret of the Knight's Sword (Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Be A Detective).
6. Lena Drew nee Campbell
Bio: Lena was supposedly Nancy Drew's Grandmother and Carson's mother. Besides that, I don't have any other information.
Connection: I found this notation on Wikipedia. I don't know the veracity of it, but its here.
