Do you know if the entire wasp family (clade? I don't know the right term) started out as flying insects, and then some lost their wings and became ants? Or was there some other evolutionary path?

The common ancestor of bees, ants and other wasps absolutely had wings. And that's why queen ants tend to nearly always have wings, as do most of the male wingless wasps.
