What do you mean by list? You can get the text from the family using the node GetParameterValueByName and likewise set it to a new text using SetParameterByName.

Hi @cgartland I did what you suggested me to do using the “FamilyInstace.ByPoint”. On Dynamo it seems working fine (no errors) but in Revit I can’t see anything. I have only the Annotation (family) I uploaded (obviously).  
I am new with Families and Familyinstance on Dynamo and I though that with the FamilyInstance.ByPoint I could have, in my case, the annotation in all the points of my list on Dynamo. Am I missing something?

Hi @kennyb6 my aim is to copy the Annotation created with the Family in some coordinates listed on Dynamo. See what I wrote to @cgartland…  
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

So after you create the family instance, you then have to go and change what the text parameter is on each family instance. You can use the output of the FamilyInstance.ByPoint node and plug it into a SetParameterByName node and set it that way.
