   @ Faith. There should be no apostrophe. Name should just read “Basketts”.

   @Faith: you were probably askIng why it was incorrect. The reason it should be Basketts is that it is plural. Their surname is Baskett and a noun; any time a noun is plural, an s is added to the end. Anytime a noun is possessive, an ‘s is added. In this case their name is plural.
