So, if I wanted to say "The Lindberghs still missed their son very much." Would I put a comma before the S in Lindberghs? The sentence doesn't show possesion until later...

In that sentence it is as you have it "Lindberghs" it is the plural not the possessive, so no apostrophe.

you are not showing possession of anything. If you are talking about a family in the plural sense, you would use it in the plural form: The Lindberghs still missed their son very much. If their last name IS Lindberghs, you could put the apostrophe after the "s".... it is still considered proper grammar because you are showing that this is their name in the plural form.
Hope this helps.

you can put the apostrophe after the s in Lindberghs to show possession although the spell-checker just showed me the apostrophe before the s

You wouldn't use a comma, nor would you use an apostrophe. It is correct as it stands.

No apostrophe needed then.
