No more than anyone else........non identical twins are hereditary but it is passed on by the maternal side of the family. Identical twins are just a fluke of nature.
Having said that, there are no twins in my family and I have non identicals LOL

Fraternal twins are the only type of twins that are hereditary and it only passes on through the mother's side. Your spouse may have them on his side of the family, but that isn't going to cause you to relase multiple eggs like it would if your mother or grandmother has a history of doing so.
Identical twins are a freak of nature type thing and only happen 1 in every 250 births.

Am a mum of 8 and you have a 1 in 895,000 chance of releasing more than one egg..Twins can be passed down the fanily line on the maternal side so it wont make a difference whether your partner has them or not...I have twins(non identical) I started with three but lost one at 7 weeks..I was told the odds of a woman releasing three eggs in one shot is 1 in 2.8 million....
It can happen to you when you least expect it.......

The same chance as anyone else!
I assume your partner is a man and you are a woman (judging from your name)? Twins that run in families are fraternal (dizygotic= two eggs) and result from ovulation of two eggs. Obviously your partner's genetics can't make you more likely to release more than one eggs. Identical (monozygotic= one egg) twins are random and not associated with family history, age, race, etc. (these factors all affect your chance of fraternal twins). Good luck, one baby will be more than enough!

Twins normally skip a generation and they are only hereditary from mums side of the family not the dads

Whether or not you have twins is determined by you (the woman), it's not on the male side. So your chances are just the same as any womans.

I'm not totally sure but i think your chances are more likely because twins tend to run in families
