Can you lay out a few tiddlers with the data the way you want?

What do you expect to see in the select? Just a list of values? 

When you say, "field values would be shown in the body of the tiddler" do 
you mean in the tiddler with the select widget, or in each tiddler that has 
been tagged with "family" ? If the latter, then what you want is set up a 
view template. Search the forum for references to template.

Good luck!
Mark
