Twins can run in the family. They run through the woman's side - so if your dh's family has twins that doesn't necessarily have an impact on what will be in your family. However, there has been some research that suggests that it is possible that twins could come from the man's side. Fraternal twins are the ones that are genetically linked.
I'm not sure if I answered your questions, but wanted to respond.

Oh statistically you are more likely to have another set of twins once you've already had a set. Over at mothering - they have a decent twin forum with a lot of info.
