The **** family will move to the country. Yes

The ****'s family will move to the country. No

The ****'s will move to the country. No

The **** families will move to the country. No, unless there are two families named **** - perhaps brothers, who are both moving with their families to the country.

Never use an apostrophe to form a plural.
