Lynda - Interesting that you have been able to trace the genetics of this line. What challenges and successes have you had in this type of research. Albinism, also a genetic condition (although thank goodness not a health endangering one in most cases!) is in my NC Woods line (primarily Orange County from 1800-present). As the gene must be present in both parents to manifest, we know it is also in my maternal line, but I haven't a clue if it is in the Morton or Preddy branch. Regardless, I am interested in what tools you have found that help in researching genetic conditions in general. -----Original Message----- From: Lynda Lindsey [mailto:linda1@zebra.net] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2000 11:21 AM To: WOODS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WOODS-L] WOODS / WOOD twins My brother in law, whose name is Ronnie Woods, has turned out to also be related to me, his gg granfather and my gg grandmother were sibblings, children of John Woods in copiah county, MS in ghe 1850 on through today I can tell you that there is a genetic illness in the family http://www.alpha1.org there are many twins in his family he has two sisters who are twins, this disease is of Scandanian European background, and there is no cure for this, this is what started my quest to learn where my famaily came from.
