There's a lot of speculation about them. Nick became a father figure/mentor to her so it's kinda like they're already family.

The fact that she was orphaned might imply one of her parents was a known Grimm that was killed long before Trubel's coming of age. It might be that her branch of the tree might be known but her particular twig got missed due to her parents' untimely end.

Or the record being kept of the Grimm bloodlines was incomplete. If the Grimms keeping the records were Eurocentric in their knowledge or focused mainly on only the Key Knights(tm) and their descendants they may have missed several Grimm family lines, especially in isolated areas or unfamiliar continents.

The Grimms need to figure out a better way to expand the next generation. If it's by blood they are made, then they really ought to be pumping out babies and protecting them very aggressively. Which keeps making me think that Nick, Trubel and any other Grimms they can find and recruit need to get themselves a walled compound out in the center of the country, bring themselves a significant other each and some well trained OBGYN's and their staffs and get busy. Like a monastery/convent but without that silly celibacy policy. :-)
