Here's your list with most initials and majors in place. I also added their ages and their personal best of tetris lines scored in a single game. (I think those were some of your interview questions.)
You seem to have interviewed both John and Frederick twice, and I think Gabriel's initial should actually be G. I couldn't figure out your mom's initial, nor ...

@athin has found the mathematical pattern in the sequence and created a useful general way to display it pictorially (go see their post and upvote). However, a slightly more accurate diagrammatic rendering would be as follows:
This is because the sequence reflects:

You can build a structure something along the lines of a da Vinci bridge, where the weight of the structure itself keeps it from falling apart:
It's easiest to build on the tabletop; you can then pick it up by the bottom nail, watch how gravity locks the structure into place, and then balance the whole on the vertical nail.

In case you're interested, the breakthrough for me finally came with Clue 12, coupled with your throwaway comment to @Sid saying that your younger sister solved it pretty quickly!

How does this produce the locations turned up by your 'hacked' Google Maps?

Either reason would account for

I had no idea where to start with this, so did some cryptanalysis. The Index of Coincidence was $0.04082$ suggesting a polyalphabetic cipher (therefore likely vigenere), and running probable key lengths suggested that the most likely key length would be 8. Now things started to fall into place!
