I have bent little fingers i.e. overlappping the ring fingers on both hands my eldest daughter has the the same but hers are also bent towards the palm and have been since birth, she is now 26yrs old. She has the classic Celtic colouring of Tishan hair and pale skin. I and my three children have all all discovered that we have extremely small thumbs, reaching just above the knuckle. My g.g.grandfather came from the Perth area, he was a John Kennedy, a shepherd and i have hit on a rather common name with no leads. Barbara
