Did he mean witch as magic user or witch as awful person? Yes I know these are your grandparents, however you need to understand his concept of the term.

There are no signs of being a witch. Anyone can be a witch is they are willing to learn about magic and to practice it.

Being a Witch is more a way of life then something that's passed down like hair color, height, etc.. Anyone can choose to be a witch and practice witchcraft so, if you want to be one you just need to do your research and begin your path.

Being a witch is not something that is passed down through families, it is a title given to yourself (if you choose) when you practice witchcraft. If your grandmother was a witch is was not because she was born one, it was because she practiced witchcraft, for you to be a witch you would also need to practice witchcraft.

That being said some talents or gifts can be passed on through families, this may be what your grandfather is talking about.

He ment like a caster witch

It is true all the first born females in my family seem to have dreams that can see what will happen in the future. Why would this happen?

Some people do have premonitions. However, there is no evidence showing that any psychic abilities are genetic, so I would chalk up the dreams to coincidence. Also, psychic abilities have nothing to do with being a witch. While it's true that some witches purposefully work to develop such abilities, people born with natural psychic abilities are not necessarily witches, and witches aren't always psychic.

Hereditary Tradition is a thing, don't let anyone else to you otherwise - it comes down to belief. It has been a long standing idea that 'being a witch' is something that is passed down through families.

Not a lot of people believe in hereditary tradition anymore because it doesn't sound inclusive, there is also a belief which ties into this that people have more of a natural talent for magic - like naturally good at throwing a ball or understanding math - it's just part of who you are.

But, ultimately, it's down to your beliefs and beliefs have no fact tied to it besides what you experience.
