[Minutes, Quorum of Twelve] President [Wilford] Woodruff also recommended that children be sealed to parents, and then to have these parents sealed to the Prophet Joseph [Smith]. He did not feel that it was quite right and proper to have children disregard their parents who gave them birth and be sealed to men who perhaps held some high position in the Church. He had been sealed to his father and his father in turn had been sealed to the Prophet, and he felt that this course was entirely proper. All the brethren present approved of this idea.

There are no families (plural) in eternity. There will be only one family (singular) in the new heaven and the new earth - the family of God the Eternal Father [whose name alone is JEHOVAH], with his eternal sons and eternal daughters, eternal brothers and eternal sisters. Note: the holy angels of God are also known as the sons of God. All sons and daughters are such only thru the ADOPTION that comes by salvation thru Jesus Christ - He being the ONLY BEGOTTEN of the Father. In the new heaven and the new earth all sons and daughters will have new names, including Jesus Christ our Blessed Redeemer. See KJV Bible - the Book of Revelations.
