Now, if you were speaking in terms of 'mother, father, and baby makes three', then turtles do not have families. Once the male and female mate, they go their separate ways--turtles and tortoises all prefer to live alone (while they may pile up for the best basking spots, and perhaps to confuse predators, they aren't really happy to be together, and don't socialize).
When the female is ready, she seeks out a good spot on land to lay her eggs--it must hold the right temperature at the right depth under ground, and must be moist but not wet. She will dig a deep, narrow hole, lay her eggs, carefully cover the hole back up and pack it down (you can barely tell it's there), and then she'll leave.
When the babies hatch, they will dig their way up out of the ground, and scatter. Aquatic species will immediately head for the water, and hide in the marsh grasses and weeds to try to avoid predators. They never meet their mother, and if they did...well, she might even try to eat them, depending on species! They live on their own, apart from each other, and their instincts give them all the tools they need to survive.
Different people believe in different things. Some religious people worship turtles, while others believe that all living things were created by one or more deities. Other people theorize that all living things have common ancestors, and that all common ancestors descended from one type of living thing. So the answer is up to you.
Turtles don't have famlilies. They also don't live in groups.
