No. The 'the' makes the sentence awkward and it's unnecessary. "We can see Wilson`s family" would be fine if Wilson was an individual that you are referring to.
I wanna say about family in common, not about a single person. Which sentence should I use
We can see the Wilsons
We can see the Wilson family
We can see the Wilson`s family
Which of these phrases is most correct?
We can see the Wilsons
We can see the Wilson family
These two are equally correct, and are interchangeable.

Like I said. You can't use that if you're talking about the entire family. As for the other answers? There both equal. We can see the Wilson family is more formal then the casual We can see the Wilsons.
