                   select new {
                   name = s.NameFamily,

You could set the "let" clause to defined the array into the query, this example helps to visualize the implementation

var data = new[] {
    new { Id=1, Name= "Name 1" },
    new { Id=2, Name= "Name 2" },
    new { Id=3, Name= "Name 3" },
    new { Id=4, Name= "Name 4" },
    new { Id=5, Name= "Name 5" },
    new { Id=6, Name= "Name 6" },
    new { Id=7, Name= "Name 7" },
    new { Id=8, Name= "Name 8" }
};
Console.WriteLine(data);

var filterIds = new[] {2,5,8};

var filteredData = from d in data
                    let ids = filterIds
                    where ids.Contains(d.Id)
                    select d;

Console.WriteLine(filteredData);
