What are my chances of having twins?

My grandmother has fraternal twin siblings (Boy and girl), and her daughter (My aunt) had fraternal twins (two boys). They are fraternal and all on my mom's side. What are my chances of having twins? I know identical twins are genetic, but are fraternal twins genetic? Any help would be much appreciated! :o)

    Actually identical twins are not genetic and for the most part completely random. Fraternal twins are genetic and so you may be at a slightly higher risk for them but no one on here can say just how much for sure.
