Music for 'cello is usually written in the bass, or F, cleff. However, as the violoncello has a very wide range, from very low to very high, music is sometimes written in the tenor cleff (a C cleff which shows where middle C is) or in treble cleff. Writting in these cleffs obviates the use of hard-to-read ledger lines above the staff.

Is a Cello hard to play.you use to play the flute and are very committed to playing a Cello?
A cello is a completely different clef (bass clef, flute uses treble), technique, key signatures (flute is in concert tuning, while cello is not), and sound. Starting off it will hurt your fingers since the strings are more unforgiving that the flute's valves. The more you practice the better you will become. If you are just starting I would recommend you find a cello teacher.
Who is the appropriate clef sign for the string family?
Unless I'm mistaken, the higher voices of the string family (the violin, etc.) play in the treble clef. The lower voices (the cello, and anything else apart from the viola) play in the bass clef.
