and should family members be God-parents

The role of Godparents is to make sure the parents wishes (regarding religious education for their children) are carried out if they (parents) should die. I think anymore, people don't really know what Godparents are supposed to do...they just name their best friends their baby's Godparents to honor their friends. It's sad.
As for having two sets...I think this would be OK if something happened to one set of them. There would be a "back up" set to take over.

I agree with breve it is a good idea but be sure to clarify who comes first so that there is not some big battle that would be the last thing a child needed at such a difficult time

To provide spiritual guidance & support to the child.

almost totally ceremonial but may give rise to a moral obligation
