1. Power set of N

Is there an uncountable family such that is finite for all distinct ,?
(here denotes a power set for N).

Before you even try to construct an example or craft a proof, what do you think the answer is?

3. I don't know if it can be useful in your case, but there is a general theorem that states that, given a cardinal $\kappa \geq \omega$ such that $2^{< \kappa} = \kappa$, then there exists an almost disjoint family $F \subset P(\kappa)$ with $|F| = 2^\kappa$.
This theorem, with $\kappa = \omega$ answers your question.

4. Come on, do not take a sledgehammer to crack a nut. There is a simple example:

Let the $P_i$ be such infinite set that $p_i^k \in P_i$, where $p_i$ is the i-th prime number and $k \in \mathbb{N}$.

Then infinite family $\{ P_1, P_2, P_3, ... \}$ is an example satisfying the requirements. Because for every distinct $P_i \cap P_j = \{1\}$ and $P_i \subseteq \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N})$ and there are infinitely many primes.

The family $\{P_1,\ldots\}\subset P(\mathbb{N})$ is not uncountable, as requested in the OP.

6. I read a problem like this somewhere.
since there is a bijective mapping between N and Q, let A be the collection of all rational number cauchy sequence converging to 0, B be the collection of all rational number cauchy sequence converging to 1.
A union B is a uncountable set. for each a in A, and b in B, there are only finite common elements.

I actually did a similar problem to this (as you described). The question was "Does there exists an uncountable family of subsets of a countable set such that the interesction of any two is finite?" The answer is yes. I gave two examples. I actually did it on the forum if you are interested. But! The OP said that the sets need to be subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ and as your sets are not this doesn't work. I refuse to actually answer the question upon the grounds that the OP has NEVER shown any effort.

8. That is Why I said there is a bijective mapping between N and Q.
This bijective mapping play a role in this example.
