Consider two families of pairwise commuting homeomorphisms of the unit circle \(S\): \(\{F_t\}\) and \(\{G_t\}\), \(t\in M\). In this paper the problem of conjugacy of such families, that is, the problem of existence of continuous and homeomorphic solutions of the system of functional equations \[ f[F_t(z)]= G_t[f(z)],\quad z\in S,\quad t\in M\tag{1} \] is investigated. The authors consider also so-called orientation-preserving homeomorphisms and present properties of solutions of the equation (1) (or some special cases of this equation) including the properties of rotation numbers of such homeomorphisms. The main results of the paper are the following ones: Under suitable assumptions about the pairwise commuting orientation-preserving homeomorphisms satisfying some condition concerning their rotation numbers, the system of equations (1) has exactly one continuous solution, or has a continuous solution depending on an arbitrary function.
