Sure, this is one place where you can ask such questions.

Perfectly correct!

And this one is also correct and means the same thing.

If you have already learned about {be ... [bei] ... be'o}, you can also 
say {lo lanzu be mi}. This puts {mi} directly in the x2 of {lanzu}, so 
the whole sumti means "The family that I am a member of" = "My family". 
It is slightly more exact, but your version is also easy to understand.

Keep up the good work. :)
