the last picture looks like more than light surface rust.
get some steel wool and oil and get the rust stopped - sort of first aid.
then, since its a family piece, and if you plan to keep it - unless you are experienced with such projects, I would find a QUALIFIED double gun gunsmith. how are the bores? If they are badly pitted, that might affect the decision to put much into it.
If you give a general location, some one may be able to recommend a gunsmith
