My wife just discovered her sister and niece have one of the breast cancer genes. There is no history on her mother's side. We are trying to research the family tree but can't find much. She knows that some of her cousins have had other cancers but doesn't know anything about her father's line. We have searched the WWW but her Dad didn't have much of a footprint.
