If a man has 3 or more sets of twins on his side of the family from the older generation is it likely he will have twins also?

No. If the twins are identical there is connection at all as identical twins are totally accidental. If the twins are fraternal it is more likely his daughter or sister will have twins as they are caused by releasing two eggs which may be inherited. Yes it can happen! When I was with my first husband I was shocked that I was carrying twins (unfortunately they did not go to term) and when I asked my mother she said that 2 generations back there were 2 sets of twins born.

If your mom gave birth to twins how likely is it that you will?
i think it usually skips a generation, so your kids will probably have twins.
Do twins have to run in both the parents side of the family in order for a couple to get pregnant with twins?
No. Twins happen randomly, but if there is a high number of twins in the family, you are likely to have twins.
What is the probability of a twin to have twins?
if twins run in the family u are more likely to have twins but most likely fraternal because identical twins are just a very unique coincidence

What are the odds of having twins when you aren't a twin yourself?
well it might be that every other generation has twins, and your not in the generation but your kids will be twins because YOUR generation was skipped
If the grandparents generation had twins what generation is next to have multiples?
Although there is a genetic component to twin births, many multiple births are not genetic. If one generation has twins, the next generation may also have twins. The likelihood of twins reduces with succeeding generations that do not have twins. Multiple births does not have patters such as generation skipping, and is never guaranteed.
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.

What are your chances of conceiving twins after you miscarried twins?
I was told by my doctor, that the chances of having multiples is very likely once you've conceived multiples in the past. And if you have multiples, they will skip a generation and then their kids will likely have multiples. Pretty cool.
Is there sisters or twins in Girls' Generation?
No, there aren't twins or sisters in Girls' Generation. But they do treat each other as if they were sisters.
If you are a twin what are the chances you will have twins too?
It depends on what has caused the twins in your family. Having identical twins is a random event, and so there is no genetic or inheritable cause for that. So if there are identical twins in your family, then you are no more likely than anyone else to have twins. If, however, you have non-identical twins in your family, then this could be due to hyperovulation, which can be inherited. This is when a woman is more likely to release multiple eggs during her ovulation cycle, and so a man inheriting this gene will not affect his own chance of having twins. It could effect a woman's chances, but it's still not a sure thing.
