Since some of the Covey's songs survived into the trilogy through Katniss Everdeen, who learned them from her father, it's been theorized that they are descendants of the Covey— probably through Maude Ivory, who shared Katniss's ability to memorize music after a listen or two.
Maude Ivory's decision to stay in District 12 could have led to her becoming Katniss' grandmother. While author Suzanne Collins has not confirmed this theory, the upcoming film adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes could potentially explore this connection and bring the two stories together even more.
No, Lucy Gray has no relation to Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. When the original novel for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes first came out, some fans suspected that Lucy might actually be Katniss' grandmother.
He grows up in D12 with the Covey, and eventually at the age of 24 in what would be year 36 he gets married and has a baby boy born in year 37. That baby turns out to be Katniss's father. He gets married in year 57 and Katniss is born in year 58. So Snow could be Katniss's great grandfather.
Fan theories posit that Lucy Gray Baird may be a relative of Katniss Everdeen or President Coin. Director Francis Lawrence told us Baird likely isn't Coin, but could have ties to the character.

He grows up in D12 with the Covey, and eventually at the age of 24 in what would be year 36 he gets married and has a baby boy born in year 37. That baby turns out to be Katniss's father. He gets married in year 57 and Katniss is born in year 58. So Snow could be Katniss's great grandfather.
What happened to Lucy Gray in The Ballad of songbirds and snakes?
Lucy Gray Baird's fate is as ambiguous in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as it is in the book by Suzanne Collins. Coriolanus shoots at her, but it's unclear where the bullet actually hit Lucy Gray. It might have been a graze, which would explain why she was able to flee so quickly.
Gale Hawthorne is Katniss Everdeen's best friend and hunting partner. In order to not cast suspicion on Katniss and Peeta Mellark's highly publicized strategic romance, Gale is presented as Katniss's cousin. He bears a resemblance to Katniss, which makes their cover believable.
After the release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, people have speculated that Coin could be related to Lucy Gray Baird, under the assumption that Lucy Gray ended up finding District 13.
Throughout the years, Tigris started to get surgical enhancements, specifically to alter her looks to look somewhat like a tiger getting face and arm tattoos, flattening her nose and getting some of the largest whiskers Katniss had ever seen from a Capitol citizen.
True to his name, he's icy and has it out for Katniss after she forces the hand of the gamemaker into letting both her and Peeta win. Songbirds and Snakes reveals why Katniss' unwavering confidence in herself and her abilities is a particular thorn in Snow's side: they remind him of Lucy Gray.

Euphemia (Effie for short) is the most famous member of the Trinket Family. Just like her mother, Euphemia Trinket, she is an escort of District 12. She appears in the films, Capitol Couture, and the books. She is a friend of Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, and more.
For one thing, Songbirds & Snakes is set 64 years before Katniss volunteers as tribute. That means there's probably a generation or two between Lucy Gray and Katniss if they are related. Fans also know who Katniss' mother is, so that rules out Lucy Gray being her mom.

Snow realized this, and once he discovered the peacekeepers rifle he used to kill Mayfair in the cabin by the lake, he decided against running off with Lucy. He knew he would never cope with a life in the wilderness, and since he was accepted into officer's school, he saw that as his way to future power.
Gale does not marry anyone in The Hunger Games. He and Katniss talk about running away together and starting a new life in the wilderness, but they never officially marry.
Katniss's focus on survival and her family's safety prevented her from fully considering romance, but her feelings for Peeta and Gale diverged in the end. Katniss ultimately chose Peeta because he understood her trauma and she didn't want to lose him, proving her love for him.
