The West Indies seem to have trouble keeping up with the Joneses. In 1968, Jeff Jones was part of the England attack that helped beat Sir Garry Sobers' team 1-0.
Now, after a long wait of 36 years for another Caribbean success, Jones' son Simon is helping steer England towards an historic victory.
Jones Jnr rubber-stamped his return from a career-threatening knee injury on Monday with his first five-wicket Test haul.
He claimed 5-57 as the West Indies were bowled out for 209 in their second innings in the second Test in Trinidad.
That left England needing just 99 to claim an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the four-Test series, which by stumps had shrunk to 28 after England finished on 71-2.
"It was brilliant to see Simon - he's worked so hard over the last 16 months to get back to play cricket for Glamorgan and England," Jeff told BBC Sport.
"I've got a feeling England might beat them 4-0 the way things are going, the West Indies' heads seem to have dropped."
Jeff claimed 14 wickets, with best figures of 3-36, when Colin Cowdrey led England to that famous 1968 win in the Caribbean.
But Simon, with nine victims already, is on course to eclipse his father's wicket total as part of an exciting England bowling attack.
Steve Harmison claimed an incredible 7-12 as West Indies collapsed in the first Test in Jamaica, and 6-61 in the first innings in Trinidad, while Matthew Hoggard and Andy Flintoff complete the pace threat.
"Under Colin Cowdrey we had a tremendous side of fast bowlers: John Snow, David Brown, Ken Higgs and myself," Jeff said.
"But it's nice to see that England have got this battery of fast bowlers, the future is looking very, very bright."
The only blot on Simon's performance was a confrontation with Ramnaresh Sarwan after dismissing the West Indies vice-captain lbw.
Simon has apologised for the "excited" outburst but will find out after the Test whether he will face disciplinary action.
"Simon just realised that he's back in Test cricket and taking important wickets again - it just came out through adrenaline and being pumped up," Jeff said.
"In our day when we took a wicket in the West Indies we'd give a bit of stick as well!"
