Hi
Handwriting hereditary - I think it depends upon the family. If you have a family where the adults want to teach the children writing then there will be a family handwriting style, especially if they write a lot of letters to each other. Other families leave handwriting to the schools to teach and perhaps do not often write to each other. In these circumstances it's unlikely that there will be similarities.
All the best
