Because my Father and an Aunt had colon
cancer I assumed that the FAP gene came from either
my Grandfather or Grandmother on my fathers side of
the family. I knew Grandmother died in her late 70's
or 80's but wasn't sure about my Grandfather.
Luckily
I have a friend who has researched her own family and
offered her help. I was amazed with the amount of information
which is available on the Internet and between us soon
tracked down his date of birth, marriage and death.
The surprise was he lived until he was 65 and no mention
of bowel cancer. Now I am waiting for a copy of Grandmothers
certificate.
If
neither Grand Parents died of bowel cancer I shall leave
it up to my genetic professor to ponder over the details
and begin to wonder if it started with my father or
even myself.
I
have put some links to various websites below and again
would welcome help in listing any others you use or
find out about and would like to thank Janice, Carole
and Jayne for their help and advice..

Letters
-
This site is of personal interest to me as it contains
the wartime letters between my parents in WW2. My elder
brother Keith started transcribing the letters with a
little help from myself. It has helped with our own family
history but might prove interesting to you. Also it is
a bit of publicity for his site aptly named Olive and
Eric. |
