Well, I don't think Silver is the son, grandson or any near relation to any of the current cast.

Silver's future takes place aproximately 200 years into the future, so that could make Silver the dozenth generation of any of Sonic, Amy or Shadows decendants though there has been no solid confirmation or denial that Silver is at all related to the present known Hedgehogs.

Plus, I'm on about Sega canon, not Archie comics which after the Cosmic reset means Ian Flynn original backstories he had in mind for Silver (The ShadAmy parentage thing) may no longer apply. Unless Amy and Silver had their own children or their childrens children eventually had Silvers ancestors or something.

All in all I think it'll just be easy for Sega to have Silvers backstory and origin just as ambiguous as Sonics.
