Matthew 22:23-30
Receiving a glorified body and relocating to the New Earth doesn't erase history, it culminates history. Nothing will negate or minimize the fact that we were members of families on the Old Earth.
Heaven won't be without families but it will be one big family in which all family members are friends. We will have family relationships with people who were our blood family on Earth, and also enjoy relationships with friends, old and new.
