No, on the Periodic Table of elements a family is a group of elements that are in the same row.

Group
Elements have more similar properties when they are found in the same column. Elements in the same column, also known as group or family, have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same row, also known as period, have different properties because they have different electron configurations.
Neptunium is a member of the actinoids family.
The elements under the scandium family are as follows: ► scandium ► yttrium ► lanthanum ► actinium
Vertical columns in the periodic table are also known as the families. All the elements belonging to the same family have almost same chemical properties.For example group 15 is known as Nitrogen family.
elements in the same column are in the same group or family. the rows in the Periodic Table are called periods
Holmium (Ho) is a member of the lanthanides family.
Boron is in the second period and column 3 of a wide form periodic table. The other elements in column 3 are part of boron's chemical family.
Group
The carbon family in the fifth period of the periodic table includes carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. These elements share similar chemical properties due to their electronic configurations and are known for forming covalent compounds. They are also important for various industrial applications, such as in electronics and construction.

Europium belongs to the lanthanide family, also known as the rare earth elements. These elements are found in the f-block of the periodic table and share similar chemical properties.
The elements under the scandium family are as follows: ► scandium ► yttrium ► lanthanum ► actinium
It is alternatively called the Carbon family.
Period 4 of the nitrogen family includes the elements Ga (Gallium), In (Indium), and Tl (Thallium). These elements exhibit some similarities to nitrogen, but also display unique properties due to their larger atomic sizes and different electronic configurations.
It is named for the country of Poland, where Marie Curie was born.
