If you set off the clause, and his family, with commas, #1 will be correct.
Otherwise, only #2 is correct.

Thanks, snowbird, I just do not hear it with my ears, I only sign ASL that does not contain exact english. Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to mention that in sentence # 1 you need to remove the and to make the subject/verb agree.
Bob, along with his family, is coming here tonight.

I'm helping myself, also.
Almost have forgotten what Miss Hines patiently taught us.

To demonstrate the value of punctuation the following sentence is used:
That that is is that that is not is not that's it.
That that is, is. That that is not, is not. That's it!

Or this one:
Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.
Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.

Here in Uk only 2# would be correct because bob + family = plural

Neither is correct, Bob is a bastard, and he and his family are getting nowhere near here !
