Fraternal twins run in families on the female side. It's to do with the ability of the woman's body to release two (or more) eggs at ovulation. Identical twins are just random, nature's pot luck

Fraternal twins are also a lot more likely to do with age as the body nears menopause it will often release 2 one months and none the next. That said I know a 35yr old with fraternal triplets and a 20yr old with fraternal triplets so...

... strangely enough there have been twins almost every second generation on my Mum's side (my Mum was a twin) ... my Mum was always convinced one of us three DD's would have twins but NOPE

My dh is a twin, apparently the thing that can cause women to release 2 egg at a time gets passed down from fathers, so by that him having family history doesnt make it more likely that you guys would have twins but if you had a daughter the gene might be passed to her from your dp and she might have twins
