Donna, Hello! How are you?!It has been awhile since I have heard anything from your research endeavors.Do you have any Winfelders?You said the word hic-upand hmmmmmm........I had a winfelder who had the hic ups for a whole month. Do you have anyone in your family that has weird or interesting disabilities (unique gifts) such as this?Do you have anyone in your family that caz hic ups? I have interesting individuals who live near me with rare and "unique gifts" as I call them. I would be interested if besides DNA info. to discover that a family member had unique gifts this could help in researching the family tree.
