I was wondering how many Grammy Awards in its entire history have been
awarded simultaneously to father and daughter combinations? (Other
combinations would be of interest but not relevant to my paying
question..)

How many of these duos are you expecting as an answer? Aside from
those mentioned, I only know of one other that actually fits your
criteria of a legitimate duo who recorded and performed together and
won a grammy.

Whatever the number of father daughter duos are, is what I am
expecting as an answer...if there is only one other one, then my
answer will be complete, and you will be paid. (2003 is included btw)

There have been three instances in which a father and daughter won
Grammy Awards simultaneously.

"When Dixie Chick Natalie Maines and her co-producing dad, Lloyd
Maines, won the [2003] Grammy for Best Country album, Maine's said
somebody should check the history books to see if another father and
daughter duo appeared on the same Grammy.

Turns out the answer is yes. 

In 1991 Natalie Cole sang a duet with her late father, Nat King Cole
on 'Unforgettable' earning them a Vocal Collaboration Grammy for her
and dad decades after he had originally recorded the song."

In addition to the Maines and Cole father/daughter wins, there is one
other. In 1977, Royce and Jeannie Kendall, who performed as "The
Kendalls," won a Grammy in the category Best Country Vocal Performance
by a Duo or Group.

"When Royce Kendall started singing with his 15-year-old daughter
Jeannie in their St. Louis living room, he sensed their natural
harmony was good enough to bring to Nashville... They had their first
hit with John Denver's 'Leaving on a Jet Plane.' A strong reaction to
another hit 'Heaven Is Just A Sin Away' bolted them to the top of the
charts and earned them a 1977 Grammy Award as well as the Country
Music Association's Single of the Year."

To sum up, the three father/daughter duos who have won Grammys at the
same time are Lloyd and Natalie Maines (2003), Nat and Natalie Cole
(1991), and Royce and Jeannie Kendall (1977).

Hello Jaz, 

I’m posting this a comment because the only father daughter
combination I was able to find was Frank Sinatra in 1966 who won 3
Grammy awards and his daughter Tina who was nominated for but didn't
win for These Boots Are Made For Walkin.

A father-son combination that were awarded Grammy Awards
simultaneously was Bob Dylan won three Grammys, including Album Of The
Year, and his son Jakob Dylan won two at the 1998 awards show.

John and Julian Lennon – not in the same year, but in the same
category. The Beatles won the Best New Artist Grammy in 1964 and 21
years later Julian Lennon was nominated for Best New Artist, but lost
out to Sade

“It may have been a first in Grammy history – father and son both
winning major Pop Grammy awards in the same year. Bob Dylan won three
Grammys, including Album Of The Year, and his son Jakob Dylan won two
at the '98 awards show. Another father-son Grammy combination was John
and Julian Lennon – not in the same year, but in the same category.
The Beatles won the Best New Artist Grammy in 1964 and 21 years later
Julian Lennon was nominated for Best New Artist, but lost out to Sade.
There was a father-daughter Grammy combo in the same year. In 1966,
Frank Sinatra won 3 Grammys including Record Of The Year for Strangers
In The Night and daughter Nancy Sinatra was nominated twice (but
didn't win) for These Boots Are Made For Walkin'.”

Could you be referring to Natalie Cole who in 1991 recorded
"Unforgettable with Love," a tribute to her father that includeded an
electronically rendered father-daughter duet. The album netted seven
Grammies, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

Too bad three-time Grammy winner Ravi Shankar was not nominated this
year ... His daughters Norah Jones and Anoushka Shankar were both
nominated.  I don't know if Anoushka Shankar won (the Grammy site is
too busy at the moment), but Norah Jones won every award for which she
was nominated, including Album of the Year!

After all the hoorah and controversy with Natalie's remarks about
President Bush, I wonder if the Grammy judges are sorry they picked
the Chicks?

Grammy nominated only, John and Bonnie Raitt:

"One of Raitt's musical interests that probably gets less attention is
the catalog of Broadway show tunes identified with her father, John
Raitt.

They recorded together on his Grammy-nominated 1995 album, "Broadway
Legend: John Raitt," performing "Hey There," "They Say It's Wonderful"
and "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)."
