There is a condition known as benign familial tremor that can appear as described. The label would only be appropriate if an evaluation excluded other potential causes. So yes, it could be genetic and benign, but it could also be something else.

This could very well represent Heredofamilial Essential Tremor which is quite easy to treat and control. A local neurologist could be of value.
