I've been fortunate to know four generations of my family, Narcisissim appears only in one generation. NOT speaking from genetics, only from personal experiences: Narcissism does not appear to be hereditary. Quite the opposite -- children of a narcissist are usually the victims of the N parent's emotional extortion and abuse. They dwell on the few inconsequential things their child did not or could not do. The child is rarely good enough, smart enough, attractive enough. The child is constantly compared to the grandiose vision the parent has of him/her self. If anything can be pass down from a narcissist it would be low self esteem.

The definitive answer to this is unknown. Some research is showing it can be genetic. Hard to say.
