The Simpsons wasn't the longest running cartoon family in 1997 nor is it today.

Japan's Sazae-san was, is & will remain for a while the longest running animated TV show in history, obviously this answers the question of the longest running cartoon family as well.

It debuted in 1969 and produces new episodes today

However if you mean strictly American television, the closest answer is The Flintstones although it only ran for 6 seasons. The Simpsons passed The Flintstones' run in 1995 not 1997.
