1)The Curie family has received the most prizes, with 5.
Marie Sklodowska Curie(French Polish Physicist) received the prizes in Physics (in 1903) and Chemistry (in 1911)She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win in two fields.
Her husband,Pierre Curie(French Physicist) shared the 1903 Physics prize with her alongwith Henri Becquerel "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel".
Their daughter,Irene Joliot Curie(French Scientist) received the Chemistry Prize in 1935 together with her husband Frederic Joliot Curie
In addition, the husband of Marie Curie's 2nd daughter,Henry Richardson Labouisse(American Diplomat) was the director of UNICEF when it won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965.
2)The husband-and-wife team of Gerty Radnitz Cori(American Bio-Chemist and the first woman to be awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine) and Carl Ferdinand Cori(Czech Bio-Chemist) shared the Prize Physiology or Medicine in 1947 (alongwith Argentine physiologist Bernando Houssay) for their discovery of how Glycogen (animal starch) – a derivative of Glucose – is broken down and resynthesized in the body, for use as a store and source of energy.
3) J J Thomson(British Physicist) was awarded the Physics Prize in 1906 for showing that Electrons are Particles.
His son,George Paget Thomson, received the 1937 Nobel Prize -Physics for showing that they also have the properties of waves.
4)William Henry Bragg(British Physicist) together with his son,William Lawrence Bragg(Australian Born British Physicist)shared the Physics Prize in 1915 "For their services in the analysis of Crystal Structure by means of X-ray"
5) Niels Bohr(Danish Physicist) won the Physics prize in 1922 for his contributions to understanding Atomic Structure and Quantum Mechanics
and his son,Aage Bohr(Danish Nuclear Physicist) won the same prize in 1975 alongwith James Rainwater "for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection"
6) Manne Siegbahn(Swedish Physicist) who received the Physics Prize in 1924 for his discoveries and research in the field of X Ray Spectroscopy
was the father of Kai Siegbahn, who received the Physics Prize in 1981 with Nicolaas Bloembergen and Arthur Schawlow for their work in Laser Spectroscopy
7) Hans von Euler Chelpin(German Born Swedish Bio-Chemist) who received the Chemistry Prize in 1929 for the investigations on the fermentation of sugar and fermentative enzymes
was the father of Ulf von Euler who was awarded the Physiology or Medicine Prize in 1970 for his work on Neurotransmitters.
8)Arthur Kornberg (American Bio-Chemist)received the Physiology or Medicine Prize in 1959 for his discovery of "the mechanisms in the biological synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)"
Kornberg's son,Roger David Komberg(American Bio-Chemist and Professor of Structural Biology at Stanford University) later received the Chemistry Prize in 2006 for his studies of the process by which genetic information from DNA is copied to RNA, "the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription
9) Jan Tinbergen (Dutch Economist)who won the first Economics Prize in 1969 for having developed and applied dynamic models for the analysis of economic processes
was the brother of Nikolaas Tinbergen(Dutch Ethologist and Ornithologist) who received the 1973 Physiology or Medicine Prize alongwith Karl von Frisch and Konrad Lorenz for their discoveries concerning organization and elicitation of individual and social behaviour patterns in animals.
10) C V Raman(India) won the Physics Prize in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength(called Raman Effect)
and was the uncle of Subramanyan Chandrasekar(Indian-American Astrophysicists) who won the same prize in 1983 alongwith William A Fowler for key discoveries that led to the currently accepted theory on the later evolutionary stages of massive stars
