Perhaps, I found out about one family who made substantial contribution to science after digging into rabbit hole on names mentioned below.
Roger Y. Tsien, who collaborated with Douglas Prasher for Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008, came from a family who has already contributed a lot to science. A lot of his family members: his brothers, parents, uncles, extended family members by birth or marriage, became the top on their fields.
Not sure, if it is nature or nurture. No one in my extended family - although our family has produced doctors, etc - has that kind of accomplishment like this family.
I, myself, do not inherit the 'gene', all comes from hard work.
