Crop Rotation and Families

I already know of legumes, but I don’t remember the other families. I want to know this so I can order my crops into these groups for my own crop rotation plan. A list of common plants with their families would be very helpful. I also know there is more than just four, as stated by the 4-year plan, and that if we know of all the families we, the home gardeners, can organize our crop rotation. I’m sorry if I have repeated myself. I just want to make sure I cover the bases I’m after.
