In the chapter “Future Tense” it was said that Zefram Cochrane had family before his disappearance. Is that family still alive today? We know that Cochrane is one of the most famous people in the entire Federation, so how did that affect his family? Are they senior officials within the Federation or just very famous civilians? Have they appeared in other media?

I don’t know that he’s incredibly famous outside of the human sphere – every federation race had to have one or more people who invent warp drive/superluminal drive. It’s one of the key requirements to be contacted by the federation.
Just because Zefram Cochrane is famous doesn’t mean anyone cares much about his descendants. How much do you know about Neil Armstrong’s kids and grandkids?
We don’t have any confirmation on whether that’s his surviving older family, or his wife and children. Either way, aside from that, they’ve never been relevant.
