Also i think he may have had Brothers in the Forces too?

What happened to Von Stauffenbergs Family?
I will show you were the Iron Crosses Grow!
His wife and four children were arrested, along with many other family members and imprisoned (at Sachsenhausen, I think) and ultimately freed by the Allies. (His wife was pregnant at the time of her arrest and gave birth to a fifth child while in prison.) His son Berthold went on to become a Generalmajor in the West German army.
He had three brothers. One (also named Berthold) was a conspirator, who was executed another (Alexander) was imprisoned and survived the war, later becoming a professor at Munchen. The third was Claus' twin Konrad, who died the day after childbirth.
The extensive von Stauffenberg family tree, starting with his grandfather onwards and listing his children and grandchildren can be found here:

When I was single, I had three theories on raising children. Now I have three children and no theories.
