Deinitely not always: 6-20% of ruptured brain aneurysm patient's have a family history. There's a big research project going on now called the familial intracranial aneurysm (fia) study, which hopes to answer some of the questions surrounding this issue.

No: Not all aneurysms are genetically related , however it could change as the genes for aneurysms are been identified.
