His father was Eduard Böhl (1836-1903), a well-known Protestant clergyman and later a professor of Old Testament studies at the University of Vienna, who had married the daughter Anna of the influential Dutch Protestant theologian Hermann Friedrich Kohlbrugge (1803-1875). His second marriage was with Baroness Jacoba Frederica "Jacqueline" van Verschuer (1846-1921), who became Franz's mother.
In 1949 Franz Böhl added de Liagre to his surname Böhl, to prevent his grandmother's birth name from becoming extinct. He married Elisabeth Henriëtte Fabius (1886-1921) in 1914 and Marie Anna Dorothea Strasburger (1905-1996) in 1933. Franz de Liagre Böhl was the father of Herman de Liagre Böhl (1943), a Dutch historian and biographer of the Dutch poet Herman Gorter (1864-1927) and of his own father.
