What is the correct use of the apostrophe for a sign that reads Future Home Of ... Family's last name?

The use of apostrophes in last names is no different from their use in any other word. If you are referring to a house to belong to a family named "Smith," the sign would read "The Future Home of the Smiths." No apostrophe: it is merely a plural noun. If the phrase were "The Smiths' Home," that apostrophe is correct because you're using the plural possessive: the house belongs to more than one Smith. People who write things like "The Smith's" are incorrect (as was the previous answer to this question). General Point If you indicate possession by using of you musn't also use 's or s'.

What is the correct use of the apostrophe for a sign that reads welcome to the Martins?
The correct usage would be "Welcome to the Martin's" Just for your info: If you are trying to describe something as belonging to the family "The Martin's" that is how you use it. It would be "Martins'" only if a "Martin" was a singular thing and several "martins" are owning something...for instance: "The Martins' bodies were green"...hope that helps.
Is this a correct possessive noun sentence. The houses' furniture was simple.?
If it is a single house, then the sentence is incorrect. If house is singular, the apostrophe should go before the s, with the sentence reading "The house's furniture was simple." The way the sentence reads now, it suggests plural houses.
Is it's a possesive pronoun?
"It's" is a contraction for "it is'. The possessive pronoun is written "its" (no apostrophe).The best way to decide which word to use is to try using "it is" instead. If the sentence still reads correctly then use "it's" (with the apostrophe. If it doesn't make sense with "it is" and the sentence implies possession, use "its" (no apostrophe). For example, which is correct?The dog ate it's dinner.The dog ate its dinner.If you change "it's" to "it is" the first sentence becomes "The dog ate it is dinner.", which is gibberish. Also the sentence implies that the dinner belongs to the dog. Therefore the second version, with no apostrophe, is correct.
