I was just looking for more info on the others. I've turned into quite the relative-hoarder. :o) I did a little research and it turns out that there was a Influenza outbreak in 1851 and a Yellow Fever outbreak in 1852, so I guess it sould be either, really. 3 kids in 10 days - I can't even begin to fathom the despair of something like that happening! On a brighter note, YES, my brother finally consented to the test and Orin is having the kit sent out to him today. My mother is going to oversee the whole thing so there can be no procrastination on my brother's part. :o) I guess we'll know in a few months? I have no idea what the expectation should be for the results, but we'll just be as patient as we have for about 10 or so years now. My mom and I are far more excited than my brother is, but he doesn't understand that he may very well have the answer to our puzzles hidden in his DNA. Amazing stuff! Erin
