Hmmm... My sons all have big feet but not particularly narrow! Also, they swam competitively when younger and now either scuba dive or swim for fitness. Must be traits of the maternal side of the family....

Shortly before she died, my mom told me of her father's death and how the night before he died he sat up all night the night before he passed away. Then she did the same thing. How many others have a similar story? Also we have two traits that my mom always referred to as family traits. One is the Paxton foot, long and narrow, and the other is the fact that Paxtons do not swim. Do any of you relate to any of these?

Hi Alice & Nancy I too have several Paxton traits, but sadly my Paxtons are still in England so far. We all have long narrow feet that are a pain to get shoes for & the same noses & bad ears. I had to have mine fixed as did my Dad & his Dad. My father William Paxton b Birkenhead, England 1926 was in hospital when he died & he told us not to visit him on Monday. He died that day. I have always wondered if you know you are going to die. Happy searching!
