The bookends for "Peking" are intriguing and frustrating at the same time. It's Thanksgiving Dinner and there are about a dozen people around the table, but most don't have lines. Who are they all? Some call Indy "dad", and the kids call him "grandpa". But there are very few clues about who's related how, who are the in-laws, etc.
Actually there are no clues at all as to how Indy is related to any of them.
We assume it is his family and his house but no one calls him "dad" or "grandpa".
The only thing said relationship-wise is Indy to Harry, "Your mother is right".
I'm not saying it *isn't* his family/house but without any strong reference
there is a lot of room for speculation.

I've never seen the bookends for "Peking, March 1910", but the IMDb lists the characters Caroline, Annie, and Harry Jones for that episode. I've heard that Annie and Harry are Indy's grandkids, so that leaves Caroline, who the IMDb says was played by a "Candy Aston". Could this be the daughter? Stoo, I assume you've seen these bookends, so does she look like the same actress who played the daughter in "Ireland, April 1916"?
The "Ireland" daughter is not at the Thanksgiving dinner. There is a woman
across the table that
could be her but the hair doesn't match.
Anyway, she calls Indy "dad" and says that they are late for a grandparent's day
at Lucy's school. So, this woman is either a daughter or the wife of Indy's son
(who is comfortable calling him "dad").
I would go with the daughter because that would explain her abscense at
Thanksgiving. She was spending it with hubby's side of the family. Plus, the
unseen Lucy confirms that he has, at least, 2 grandchildren.
Another person missing from the dinner is Spike! (Is he too busy re-stringing
his guitar to come down for some turkey?) He is most likely son of "Ireland"
daughter and brother to Lucy.
