Why would people have a trait of extra fingers in their generation?

One reason is something called trisomy 31 which is a birth defect. Polydactyly is very uncommon but some families do pass it on as it is a dominate gene. But only about 500 cases are seen per year.
People of Asian and Caucasian decent are more likely to have radial (on the thumb side) polydactyly. Ulnar (on the little finger side) polydactylism is more common in people of African decent.
