They don't. They have records of the info passed back and forth to it, but as to physical location, only the info on your account is what they see. If you visit family in another state and connection your computer there, they can see what server you connect to and that's recorded, but physical location depends on user records. There is info on a packet of data that tells what network card was used to generate this data, but they don't catalogs of who gets what card.
If you are thinking CSI and such; they can tell if you dial-in by phone the number you dialed into and the address given to your machine by the network. If you connect to your families network, most likely your machine will not have it's own IP seen by the web, but the one of the router you connect to, so that machine is what they go looking for if you do something bad.
