So, does anybody else find it weird that neither Rand's patrilineal ancestors (nor his mother, as Andor's requisite training in the White Tower would have undoubtedly detected even the potential to learn) nor his descendants through Aviendha after the first über-channeler generation could channel? None of them have the inevitable ability, and in some cases (Coumin, Ladalin) it is specifically mentioned that they could not even have been trained.
No. Rand is a special case. I don't think that needs explaining.

Agreed that it is a rather strange twist and seems very sudden to happen within a generation

True, but the odds of Channelers having children with the ability are vastly higher
