Either is correct.
The difference is:
some secret = one big secret
some secrets = a lot of little secrects

you could say "...family has some secret which has been concealed..."
if you use it this way, "some" indicates an unspecified/arbitrary secret.
if you say "...family has some secrets which have been concealed..." it means that there are many secrets being kept.
*this is an unusual case and normally "some" takes a plural.

前面是some 后面应该是secrets和have，因为是单数。前面是a，后面应该是secret和has，因为是复数。
