[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 407304, member: 4362"] Its good to see you keep your heritage alive. Some of your kinfolk - on the Gibbs side - live up the road from us. Good hardworking people. I think this is typical of the Scots and Irish that settled here. Just out of curiousity, do any of your family suffer from primary hemochromotosis? My brother was diagnosed with this and his doctor said its hereditary - because of our lineage - it was brought about by the poor diet of our forefathers. He said Scots and Irish were more prone to this since our forefathers diet was lacking in iron and the body will overcompensate and store too much. He suggested that all our children be tested for this. Its no big deal, but if left unchecked liver damage can occur. Just curious. [/QUOTE]
