I am interested in the medical history of our family, I have my Daddy's hands,
arthertic, and have recently found out that I have also inherated the same eye problems he
had. Macular Degeneration, My Daddy, John William (Bill) Caddell, only had 15% vision in
his right eye, and no vision in his left eye at his death, he was 64 years of age at his
death. Does anyone else have any of the same problems, My Daddy's Daddy, John Louie
Caddell, died when my Daddy was 8yr's old, so I can't trace much of the medical
history in my line.My Great Grandaddy was John Arthor Henderson Caddell, we are all from
Gadsden, Al. Etowah Co. I would be interested in knowing if any of you have inherated any
of the same traits.And what did our ancestors die of. Thanks, Nancy
