To tell means to relate something. Like telling someone a story. Telling you about my family means I want to share some family history and details that you might find interesting.
To talk to someone about something means he/she has a topic or problem in mind and wants to tell you so you will understand and/or can discuss it. So if I said "Let me tell you about my family" it might mean something like they are very religious so be careful how you speak around them. Or they are very old-fashioned. Or they don't watch TV. Something like that.
