Alright, this isn't exactly a tree but earlier I posted a theory about Iroh's identity and so here it is again.

My guess is this:

Iroh is Zuko's grandson and the son of Bumi and Zuko's daughter.

1. From what I understand, it has been established by tie-in comics that Zuko only had a daughter (the current firelord)

2. It wouldnt be a stretch to imagine that Aang and Zuko's children saw a lot of each other growing up. Aang and Zuko were friends, heroes, and the founders of Republic city. I'm sure that they remained close friends for the rest of their lives.

3. It is therefore possible that Aang's oldest son and Zuko's daughter grew close and eventually married. (It almost happened with Tenzin and Lin right?)

4. I'm guessing that Iroh is a male name in the fire nation. Since Zuko only had a daughter, I bet she decided that her son would be named Iroh as she knew how much Zuko's uncle meant to him (It is also possible that she developed a close relationship with Iroh herself, though he was pretty old in the original series so it can't be certain that they even met)

5. I feel that this would make sense and that Iroh II's ties to the original group are very cool. If this guess is true it would also be a funny and clever way for the writers of the show to get Dante Basco (the voice of Zuko) to constantly be saying "Uncle" again as Iroh II and Tenzin will surely be interacting in the coming episodes.
