I have learned that several of the family died from this, typically female but some males as well. My dad and our uncles did not but grandma and her siblings all suffered from this. I'll be in touch.

just for further info, not connected to this family My husband checked for polystitic kidney because his dad, uncles, aunts and cousins had died from it....the dr said a lot of people live a full life and never know they have it and it is revealed in an autoposy. It is a hole in the kidney, of course covered by a light skin but not muscle.... The disease is passed on from the mother to the children...so my husband could not get it from his father...but we have to be aware that our girls can pass it on to their children.... My father in law had it passed on from his mother and her family. They were here by ship straight from Germany, full bloodied. Did not ask dr if it runs in nationality lines.
