[Sonic Showerthoughts] We saw more of Data's family than anyone else's.

We saw his father, his mother, his grandfather, his brother, his other brother, and his daughter. Not too shabby for an Android.

Does the Great Link count? Because if it does we saw more of Odo's family than anyone else's.
- An ocean of family
  
  And they’re all you. And you are them.
  
  And we are the world.
- You win by a speciest technicality— that being, humanoids don’t see The Founders in “that way”. But we should.
Picard and Worf both got the same amount of family exposure if counting by how many family members we met.

The three of them were the most developed and fleshed out characters of the TNG cast.
- We met Worf's father, mother, human brother, klingon brother, son (that gets me to 5), now if we include Worf's wife(s) either 6 or 7 depending how we count K'Ehleyr. Vs Data's 6. So I guess!
  
  Also, Worf’s great-grandfather, Colonel Worf, who defended Kirk and McCoy when on trial in ST:VI!
  
  .
- I don’t think Worf’s son counts.
  
  Neither does he
- Picard picks up four or five more family members if you count his The Inner Light family.
Wasn’t there a lot of Ferengi family shown throughout ds9?
- Yeah we see a lot of Quark’s extended family
  
  I'm trying to think of who else was shown other than Rom, Nog and his mother... He talked a lot about a cousin Galen. I don't recall ever seeing him, or any other family aside from those mentioned, tho.
  
  Unless you mean his Klingon family from that time he got married.
Voyager's EMH didn't have a big family; but he holds the title for being the only main cast character to lose a child on-screen.
- I'm pretty sure Worf lost Alexander a few times on purpose.
- cough David Marcus cough
What about Kirk? We see his Father and Mother in the Kelvin timeline. His brother along with wife and child in TOS and SNW. Despite them not marrying, I think that Carol Marcus and James Marcus still count as family. We also see Admiral Marcus, Carol's father. Also Kirk did briefly have another wife, Miramanee, and unborn child. They got stoned to death before the episode ended and maybe the unborn child doesn't count as seen.
Worf comes close
