Please forgive me -- I am tired, and once again, I do not want to look up Scriptures. I am sure you can easily find them, or you already know them.
The L-rd promises to "visit" the generations with regard to familial sin. Check out the meaning of "visit": it means that He will come to each person, check their intentions, and make sure they get their desires. Oh, I know that is loosely defined, but that is the bottom line.
So when someone truly chooses to live right, to be His, in spite of the previous generations, our G-d will bring to that one everything they need to help them be all they should be for Him.

Godspell, it is not mine to explain the mysteries of G-d, nor is it mine to write why things don't always work out well for individuals. I wrote of what G-d has said, not what I have said. These are the words of the Bible.I would not disagree with you. Although, it might be a bit of an overstatement to say what you said.
Many Christian martyrs have suffered and bled for Him even to the point of death, either for other peoples sins or even their own family's. So, yes, they are being given the strength and provisions to remain faithful to Him even until the point of death, but they are still suffering for other's sins, which is in itself a kind of curse.
But, in any case, I have a strictly constant view of God, so in that case, I do not like to, strictly speaking, say that God curses anyone, but rather that people curse themselves by moving their will to be contrary to God, and the chief of these curses would be damnation.
First I don't believe in them, especially for Christians as Jesus broke all curses, event he curse of death. ...

I don't know what to think about them.
On one hand Jesus sort of paying for all sins and being able to set us free with some added exclusion clause in the small print saying "except for sins affecting you but caused by your relations" has never made a whole lot of sense to me.
On the other hand, some of us do find there are things in our lives that try as hard as we can, as much as we pray for help, as ofen as we try to go through our own past actions while asking the Holy Spirit for guidance, etc. there always is something that we can not find that holds us back, sometimes to the point it makes Christian life all but impossible. I believe it's hard enough at it is but for some of us, it can seem like we are being asked to do it with both hands tied behind our backs.
I have tried investigating generational sin for my own troubles and found it quite scary. The reactions were my own but the effects after getting "reasons" (both from my own prayer and from the advice of "experts") were nothing more than rounds of nasty family accusations.
