ALLAHU AKBAR
Asalaamu alaikum brother in Islam, Allah has guided you to Islam because he has seen something in your heart that he likes. Don't despair because Allah guided you to this deen and he will guide you throughout all of your life just ask of him in your dua's and he will answer you inshallah.
You don't have to tell your family right away, maybe when the time is right you can do it in a tactful way, they will understand if you explain it to them properly inshallah.
There are MANY Muslims around where you live i suggest you go to your local Masjid and find a good scholar of Islam and find some good people in the Masjid they would be more than willing to help you out inshallah and you should keep a lot of contact with your local masjid and attend the house of Allah regularly for prayers for the Masjid is Allahs favourite places.
