The first bit is easy enough:

This (or something like it) gets you all combinations of family & serial number that are not in your table.

select * from
(select * from
(select distinct FamilyID from family) as FID,
(select 1 as serialNo union all select 2 union all select 3 union all select 4 union all select 5) as serialNos
) z -- Z is all combinations of family & serial #
left outer join Family F on (F.familyID=z.familyID and F.serialNo=z.serialNo)
where z.familyID is null

You'll have to work out yourself how to dummy up the data but you can use that as a start point.
(I have not run or tested it because you did not give me any tables).
