Using apostrophes for plural?

I have seen people using apostrophes for plural...such as...

The James's, the Franklin's...

Is this the correct way to indicate plurals (in this case, surnames...all the members of the family)? I always thought that the apostrophes were used for possessives.

That's correct -- except for the possessive adjectives,
