Ah, yes.... Dell Giant 38, "Uncle Donald and his Nephews Family Fun" 1960,
art by Tony Strobl. And there was no time travel involved. It was all
present day. A Tornado transported Grandma's house somewhere to the jungles
of South America. Gyro's invention was a reverse twister that transported
them, house and all, back. (The Beagles were left behind with the
dinosaurs.)
The family tree shown on page 2 was very simple.
