Yes. Not only the same family, corvidae, but even the same genus, Corvus. The common American crow is Corvus brachyrhynchos, and the common raven is C. corax. All birds commonly called "crows" or "ravens" are in the genus Corvus, along with rooks and jackdaws (about 40 or so species in all). The crow family, corvidae, includes jays and magpies as well.

∙ 14y agoNo, ravens are not crows, but both belong to the genus Corvus, part of the family Corvidae. This family is also informally referred to as the "crow family," but ravens are still not crows.

∙ 14y agoCrows and ravens are in the family Corvidae of the Songbirds. Raptors however, generally include the hawks, falcons, eagles, and kites, which are of the order Falconiformes, and owls (of the order Strigiformes).
Crows are not considered to be raptors, as far as I know.
