    I solved this game.
    first the officer with the convict, then bring the officer back.
    next send the officer with one of the sons, and bring the officer and the convict back.
    next send the father and the other son across, and bring the father back
    next send the mother and father across and bring the mother back.
    next send the officer and the convict across and bring the father back
    next send the father and mother across and bring the mother back
    next send the mother and one of the daughters across and bring the officer and the convict back
    next send the officer and the other daughter across and bring the officer back
    Lastly send the officer and the convict across, and everyone is across!!!
