Yes, and contrary to popular belief, jests mostly weren't crazy men which just acted weird. And often they were the only persons the king could fully trust upon or even were his best advisors.

We really cannot make generalizations about jesters' families with much success. Jesters were chosen for their humor and wit, but in theory they could have come from any level of society. Some jesters made a lot of money and acquired estates, which put them into the gentry. There were probably many who were not so lucky. Whether they usually married, had children, stayed in contact with relatives, and so on, is a guess.
