Family number in numerology represents the common energy of one's family – inherited patterns passed through generations of people with the same family name.
The number 1 family emphasizes leadership and achievement. Offspring in this family are encouraged to follow respected professions, and may be pressured to live up to standards set by parents and grandparents. If the family atmosphere is negative, there may be a great deal of arrogance and bullying, as well as contempt for the child who does not fit the pattern. In a positive atmosphere, the child is encouraged toward independence, and the family is proud of any kind of success. There may be a family history of health problems relating to the chest area.
The number 2 family is cooperative, quiet and refined. Although detail-oriented and particular about cleanliness, they are rarely strong disciplinarians, relying instead on the harmony of the group. In a negative atmosphere, the parents will be indecisive and fail to provide a clear value system. They may also become nit-pickers, overly concerned about minor matters of diet, dress, and other personal habits. In a positive atmosphere, the emphasis on peace and diplomacy will encourage emotional maturity in the offspring, and the family will provide a background of good culture and appreciation for the arts.

The 3 family number is generally optimistic and enthusiastic, and tends to be rather chatty. Ambition often runs high among family members. This family may be very active in the community, perhaps in political or social causes. If the family atmosphere is negative there can be a tendency to neglect individual needs in favor of socializing, to be impatient with the pace of a child's normal development, and to have such widespread interests that very little is actually accomplished. In a positive context, the home will be joyful and stimulating, encouraging the humor as well as the ambitions of the family members. There may be a family medical history of skin problems, or poor blood circulation.

If the atmosphere is positive, the family emphasizes practicality, reliability, and family loyalty. There is probably an emphasis on mechanical skills, which may also translate into scientific or mathematical ability in the family members. There may be a medical history of depression or psychosomatic illness in the family.
