Yes, only fraternal twinning (caused by releasing more than one egg) has a genetic connection, and that connection only holds on the mother's side. So, many twins are born with no family history of twins at all.

The fact that twins run in families is actually a myth. The odds of twins having twins is the same as a non-twin having twins. That is about 1 in 33.
Sounds like a good chance! You sound like my family LOL!
AnswerIts very unlikely, but its possible. Its happended a few times in history....... so, probley 1 in 700,000 chance i think.
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
There are two primary types of twins, Identical and Fraternal. Identical twins occur when the egg splits after fertilization. To date no indication of a genetic link has been found. Anyone has a chance, though small, of having identical twins. Fraternal twins occur when more than one egg is dropped during ovulation. This trait can be inherited from the mother's side of the family. Studies have shown that the chances are also increased by being overweight or older.
