Families of Curves Wanted

An interesting problem

Let n be a large positive integer.  Recently I've been looking for a family of curves fn:CnP1 with the following properties:

  • fn is flat and proper of relative dimension 1,
  • the general fiber of fn is smooth, and the family is not isotrivial
  • every singularity that appears in a fiber of fn is etale-locally of the form xy=tn where t is a parameter on P1...
