The next "Modern Family" may be coming out of Minnesota.

ABC has been looking for a real-life clan that's similar to one on its hit TV series. Contestants were asked to send in a short video done in the docu-style of the Wednesday-night series. Among the five finalists: Derek Larson's St. Paul family. (Derek, BTW, strikes a resemblance to Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet).

Fans can vote for their favorite video at http://abc.go.com/shows/modern-family/memory-book-contest

The family with the most votes gets a trip to Hawaii
