The theory of complex trees is introduced as a new approach to study a broad class of self-similar sets. Systems of equations encoded by complex trees tip-to-tip equivalence relations are used to obtain one-parameter families of connected self-similar sets FA(z). In order to study topological changes of FA(z) in regions R⊂ℂ where these families are defined, we introduce a new kind of set M\subseteqR which extends the usual notion of connectivity locus for a parameter space. Moreover we consider another set M0\subseteqM related to a special type of connectivity for which we provide a theorem. Among other things, the present theory provides a unified framework to families of self-similar sets traditionally studied as separate with elements FA(z) disconnected for parameters z\inR\backslashM.
