The family line isn't in your relay descriptor:
https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/server-descriptors/2016-09-30-21-05-00-server-descriptors

Nor is it in the consensus:
https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/microdescs/consensus-microdesc/2016-09-30-21-00-00-consensus-microdesc

It may just be that OnionOO is out of date, or updates family entries on a
slower schedule.

What do you mean by a false entry?
What behaviour are you expecting?

Any use of a nickname in the family line generates a warning that nicknames
are not verifiable and that fingerprints should be used.
