Apostrophes are never used to form the plural of any proper noun.

The Herberts will attend.

not: The Herbert's will attend.

Add -s to make most last names plural. Add -es to those that have endings with sounds such as ch (as in Hatch, but not as in Bach), s, sh, x, and z.

Example: The Joneses will tour Hong Kong.

Like most plural nouns, plural proper nouns have a single apostrophe after the plural ending to indicate possession.

Example: The reception will be at the Herberts' home, Bryan House.

How do you make a proper name plural that ends in s?

Possessive means that the noun ~has~ or ~owns~ something. A proper noun is a person, place, or thing that has a particular name. For example, Santa is a proper noun. So is North Pole. Once Santa has something, he possesses it. Let's say that Santa has a sleigh. To make the proper noun that ends in s possessive, you would say: Santa's sleigh. But don't forget the apostrophe!
