Abstract: In the framework of the four dimensional heterotic superstring with free fermions we present a revised version of the rank eight Grand Unified String Theories (GUST) which contain the $SU(3{)}_H$-gauge family symmetry. We also develop some methods for building of corresponding string models. We explicitly construct GUST with gauge symmetry $G=SU(5)imesU(1)imes(SU(3)imesU(1){)}_H$ and $G=SO(10)imes(SU(3)imesU(1){)}_H$ or $E(6)imesSU(3{)}_H$ $subsetE(8)$ and consider the full massless spectrum for our string models. We consider for the observable gauge symmetry the diagonal subgroup $G^{symm}$ of the rank 16 group $GimesG$ $subsetSO(16)imesSO(16)$ or $subsetE(8)imesE(8)$. We discuss the possible fermion matter and Higgs sectors in these theories. We study renormalizable and nonrenormolizable contributions to the superpotential. There has to exist "superweak" light chiral matter ($m_H^f<M_W$) in GUST under consideration. The understanding of quark and lepton mass spectra and family mixing leaves a possibility for the existence of an unusually low mass breaking scale of the $SU(3{)}_H$ family gauge symmetry (some TeV).
