I also reported this 4 years since your comments. In English a family are, by definition, made up of more than one person, so 'is' is never correct as you are always referring to 'they'. The phrase ''They is" will and can never be correct.
Where are your family cannot be a correct translation because it isn't grammatically corret in English. Family is a singular unit, although a family has many people. Where is your family is appropriate. Where are you parents and siblings is also correct. But family as one unit would be where is your family

Sorry, you are incorrect for non-US English, where a family is always referred to as a multiple. Duolingo is strongly US based, but they make allowances for non-US usage, such as using the word 'biscuits' instead of 'cookies' and 'sweets' instead of 'candy'. In this case, with only the US treating the word as a single entity, the use of 'are' should be allowed.
