Hi Joel: Twins run in my Pate line. Two sons of Thomas N. Pate ((1838-1887) sired twins: my grandfather, John Thomas Pate (1878-1959)-twin son & daughter; his brother, George Franklin Pate (1881-1956)-twin daughters. Then my mother, Irene Pate Johnson (1912-1972), dau of John Thomas Pate, had twin daughters, and one of her granddaughters had 2 sets of twins. Interesting survey...enjoy reading the replies.
