Okay, let me get what you are asking figured out. Are you asking if it is true that if a person has a tragedy in her life, that the daughter will have a continuation of the same tragedy? If that is the question, no, but the way the person acts with their children will have a lasting effect on those children, and they could develop the same fears if that fear is pushed onto the children enough. My next door neighbor was terrified of dogs. Ever since her daughter was a baby, the mother pushed her fear of dogs onto the little girl. We have a part bull terrier/part dalmation, very gentle, but big and strong looking. The little girl would scream in terror when our dog was across the yard on a leash! It took me few months, but I got her to come a bit closer (the dog is very laid back and patient, and sat very still for me) until one day she reached out and petted the dog on the back (I turned the dog so that she was not looking at the girl). Now she comes over to play with the dog (she is now 5 years old) and actually wears me out with the door bell ringing and "can the dog come out and play?" Her mother eventually learned not to fear dogs as well by watching her daughter in amazement as the little girl grew bolder. She at first would not allow the girl to even try, but then realized after I spoke with her, that the fear was not a healthy one for the girl to go through all her life. After the girl had mastered her fear, the mom began to try with encouragement from her daughter and me. She now smiles and does not flinch and run away when she sees my dog, and has begun to pet her as well. When she was a child, a dog bit her, and that stayed with her all through life enough for her to implore her daughter to have that same fear. Is this what you meant? Then it can happen, but can be reversed as well.

Parents are the first teacher for any child. A parent who has a fear of something, like cats, may pass that on to their child. Along with fears, children learn to deal with things the way their parents teach them also. A child with an overbearing mom that handles everything may grow up to expect that someone will always handle every stressful situation for them or they may grow up to think that they must take care of all of their own children's problems.
Another possiblity is that children geneticaly inherit certain things like diseases from their parents. Certain defecenceis and cancers are transmitted this way. But even then, the children only inheret a greater chance of getting the disease.
Anything outside of the physical and emotional world falls into the realm of the spiritual. From that perspective, things are varied. I, personally, am a Christian. In my Bible it says that punishments for certain sins are dealt out through the 3rd and 4th generation.

Just because something bad happens to a parent, it does not mean that it will happen to the child. However, if the parent has (for example) been raised by abusive parents, the odds are better that they will repeat that behavior with their children. The good news is, that if a parent is self-aware enough to realize that their upbringing was abusive, and they love their child enough to want to break the chain of abuse, they can get therapy, and raise their child in a happy & healthy way.

if this tragedy had an influence towards the whole family..for example..if it affected the financial statue of the family..or caused death of a member of this family..most of the times these tragedies don't stop & that it..no..they grow with the child..or disappear but leave its influence on the child..

Not really.....
But some things where some one is subject to something horable when they are a child there is a chance they will go on to carry out such things themselfs when they get older.

Sure it is true. We implant our minds with messages while we are still very young. learning becomes subconsious truth and changing the messages is a very difficult job indeed.

Rubbish. Life's what you make it. Obviously your parents are a huge influence, but if you get away and make your own life...

well diseases can sometimes pass from generation to generation if that's what you mean, but it sounds like silly superstition to me.
