Be sure your combo box is named ComboBox1.

When you open (show) the Userform (activate) add the items to the Combobox.
When you select any item in the combobox write the selected value to a cell:

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
ComboBox1.AddItem "Father"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Mother"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Son"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Daughter"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Husband"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Wife"
End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
' Write selected value to cell A1
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Value = ComboBox1.Value
End Sub

The first is because you are adding all the items in the Change event, you
should load the combobox in some other event, such as Userform_Activate. You
can also use the Clear method to clear it out.

On the second, if you have a cell linked to the Combobox you just get the
index number. You will have to dump the value within the code.
