The answer is yes insofar as Level 1 detail (pattern and overall ridge flow), and no regarding Level 2 and Level 3 ridge detail. The question is already addressed in the FAQs under the following topic: "Are fingerprints inherited... are they more similar between family members than between strangers?"   Chris Gentry (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted From: 170.190.75.20 Posted on Monday, March 05, 2007 - 11:12 pm:        No. Everybody, including identical twins have completely different prints. Fingerprints are more valuable than DNA because identical twins have the same DNA but different fingerprints.
