No it is not. The word "these" refers to a plural noun whereas the word "family" is the single form of a noun. You can either say, "These are the members of my family" or "This is my family." Unfortunately many people, including MPs and TV presenters do not seem to know this grammatical rule. We hear such as, "The army are..;" when it should be "The army is..." Only one single army is being spoken about. Otherwise they should say, "Our soldiers are...".
