Twins do run in the family. However they are only passed on through the female side. the (egg)Therefore, your wife's family would have to have a history of twins.

I do believe that twins are determined by the female. If 2 eggs are ovulated or if the 1 egg splits. So to answer your question.. No I do not believe you being a twin increases your chances.
_Good luck

Usually it skips a generation. I dont think you have a very big chance of having twins.
