I'm not sure on the actual percentages. It firstly depends on if your father is an identical or non-identical twin. (Maternal or fraternal) Non-identical (fraternal) twins are the hereditary type, not the identical ones. Identical twins are simply a hiccup with the cell division during fetal growth, whereas non-identical twins are due to the hereditary tendency of the woman releasing more than one egg at a time. The gene for non-identical twins is directly passed from fathers to daughters, and the chance of having twins usually skips a generation too (like baldness in men!). So, if your father is a twin (a non-identical twin) and you are his daughter, it's possible that you may also have twins, but it's far more likely that your daughter will. My father is a twin (his brother died at birth and it's not known if he was maternal or fraternal unfortunately) and I only have 1 child (a daughter). She has a very high chance of having twins if dad was fraternal.

What is the probability of having twins if your dad is a fraternal twin and you are a identical twin and your moms dad is a fraternal twin?
The probability is the same as if you had no history of twins in your family. There is no genetic component with identical twins, it is just something that happens. Fraternal twins occur if a mother "drops" two eggs in one month. Your father being a fraternal twin does not make you "drop" more than one egg in a month and so does not increase your chances of having twins. Your maternal grandfather being a fraternal twin did not effect your mother's ability to drop more than one egg and so did not effect your ability to "drop" more than one egg and so does not increase your ability to have twins.

Mum or Dad could be carrying the twin gene it doesnt matter about sexes. Normally being able to have twins is when it skips a generation therefore if your grandparents were a twin or had brothers or sisters that were twins it generally means you have move of a chance to have twins other than your parents do although they can do. Also you have a higher risk of twins when doing IVF or having a baby when you are older.

My grandfather my mom's dad has a twin my mom's auntie from her mom's side has a twin and my mom's sister had twins does that increase my chances of having twins?
Yes, twins do seem to run in families. The cause is hyper-ovulation, a genetic trait to release more than one mature egg each month. This effect is only applicable to fraternal twins, as identical twins are not effected by genetics and every pregnancy carries the same chance of developing into identical twins. The exception to this is older mothers. As we age the chance of having twins increases whether there are twins in the family or not. A family history of twins doesn't make a male any more likely to have twins themselves. Men can pass the gene on to their children - it will only effect daughters, a male with the gene does not ovulate so his carrying the trait will have no effect on his wife. Any twins in the family conceived with the aid of fertility drugs will not have an effect on the twin "gene".

What if your great grandma had twins and your dad is a twin will you have twins?
Most likely not, as it shows to skip a generation. It skipped your grandma, so by logic, the pattern is yes-no-yes-no. You would the the fourth no. It will also depend on which side of the family the twins were on. The propensity to have fraternal twins can be inherited as a female trait that causes more than one egg to be dropped at a time. Identical twins have no genetic relationship that has been found to date.

Do fraternal twins only run on mother's side?
Yes. Fraternal twins are due to two eggs being released. No - If they are on either side of the family, the incidence of twin pregnancy is increased, whether they run on the mum's side or the dad's side. And in addition to the above answer, fraternal (non-identical) twins are due to two different eggs being fertilised by two different sperm.
