The difference here is American English vs British English. a collective noun is a singular in American English but it is a plural in British English. Eg. British English the government are making laws or the family are seeking an attorney. You had it correct the first time around. You should research your own grammar errors. Many readers are based in the U.S. and don’t know or have forgotten British English.
“The family of Gibson Ricardo Christmas of Marigot who lived in Antigua and Barbuda are offering a reward of $25,000. . .”
DNO, correct English is – “The family. . . IS offering a reward. . . “. Singular noun.
