Hello I would like to remove the wall from our family room to kitchen. The wall that I circled in yellow. How can I tell from this blueprint if it is a load bearing wall?

2It's a 22' + wall @ the center of your structure. You should assume it is. – noybman Jan 16 '19 at 05:32

Which way are the floor joists going? – Joshua Dale Jan 16 '19 at 05:49

1We would also need to see the second floor and see what it could be supporting. – ratchet freak Jan 16 '19 at 10:01

I wouldn't trust a random individual on the internet to correctly identify bearing walls. There are general guidelines for identifying bearing walls, but many exceptions to the rules.
Get a competent person in your house to look at the structure. From there, you can figure out the engineering.
