Prepositons

Hey there,
This question was there in my book and i got confused with it and the ques. was
Fill in with prep. choosing the correct ans. from the bracket
1 - (From, Of) what family is she sprung?
2 - I have no use (of,for) it.

I'll be glad if any of you would help me in it and I also want to know the reason for the ans.
According to me , for ques.1 the ans would be Of because it shows family background and for 2nd it will be: I have no use for it.
Please check if my answers are right or not.
