Anne - I hope you read my West line that I included in my last post. There's an interesting fact about A- blood types by the way. It's being squeezed out of the gene pool and is most prevalent with Celtic groups of people and the Basque people between France and Spain. So I want to know what the necessity of A- negative was in the first place and why it now is going obsolete? So much to learn! Whew! I hope that I live long enough for this unraveling. I watched something on the Discovery/History/NGEO station about the Vikings and they at one time inhabited the area in Scotland that my grandmother is from on my paternal side. They brought up crooked little fingers and said that the Vikings infused that into us. Who knows?! The West line that I am from had families that were big. They went everywhere. I just don't want to find out that my "tree" doesn't branch. Sandra
