My dad committed suicide in our house. Additionally, a cousin, grandfather, and uncle of mine have committed suicide, and that's assuming others haven't. Both my mother's and father's side of the family have had members commit suicide.
I don't think suicide is connected like you ask in the OP. Personally, if anything, I think suicide is the result of a combination of issues, both environmental and biological, when everything becomes to difficult to deal with. My dad didn't commit suicide until a year after I was institutionalized for attempted suicide myself, but then both my dad and myself had disabilities and abusive upbringings.
Difficult question to answer but I don't think suicide is that interlinked.
