[[WMG: The family from the first Afterlife trailer is Ray's.]]
Ray and Egon are the most likely candidates to be the teammate who's daughter is the mother of the family in the trailer. The beginning of the first movie did mention that Ray had to mortgage his family's house to get the startup money for the team, so are we looking at that house in the trailer? Figures Ray would be packrat enough about the many toys and such they had from the busting days.

[[WMG: The family from the first Afterlife trailer is Egon's, but are not his biological descendants.]]
Egon always seemed rather asexual in the movies, uninterested in relationships, but the series is rather heavily hinting at them being his family. It's possible that he did settle down and have a family, but it's also possible he decided to adopt as a single dad. The similarities between the grandchild and him are more the mother's doing, wanting a lover that resembled her dad, but said lover failed to be a proper father figure (assuming he didn't die).

One of the people we saw in the trailer bore a very striking resemblance to Creator/BillMurray. Perhaps if the protagonists discover this, they'll ask Dr. Venkman to school them in the ways of Ghostbusting so they can save the town [[spoiler:and do their grandpa proud]].

After the Manhattan Crossrip and the incident with Vigo the Carpathian the ghost busting business effectively dried up. With nobody trying to force their way into the mortal world there wasn't enough activity to keep the Ghostbusters in business nor enough funding to keep their facilities. Eventually Egon and Ray went out to find a place where they could safely build a longterm storage facility to hold all their catches for the foreseeable future since they couldn't just let the grid shut down in the middle of New York. They found some stigmatized property owned by the Shandor family to study and set up the tech to run unmonitored until things picked up again then... it just never did. Egon spent his time researching the mines to see what Shandor had once been up to and keeping watch until one day he simply didn't wake up again leaving it unattended for years to slowly breakdown. Now its leaking, causing earthquakes as energy escapes, and threatening to cause another major crossrip incident.

He was there to release them. Cultish rituals deep underground are in-line with the eldritch theme of Ivo Shandor, Gozer, etc. Egon found one of Shandor's old mines and determined such a site could be used to open another cross-rip in the other direction, where all the ghosts boxed up in the containment unit could be released into the spirit realm. Except he died before he could finish the job, and now the containment unit, moved to the underground site, is deteriorating from lack of maintenance and causing problems for the nearby town of Summerville.
