HI Again!
I am so excited to find a relative in Ireland!
So, how did you end up in Ireland?
You probably have heard about the study in Canada and NYC on the Cannings gene mutation
CDH-1. Eight of my siblings had the gene mutation which means 81% chance of getting
stomach cancer. Two brothers & 3 sisters have had their stomachs removed. I was one of
the lucky ones, no gene mutation.
On a happier note, have you ever been in the USA?
And yes, I will definitely keep you posted of any new info on the Canning line. I am
feeling something will surface. And hoping it is before Christmas. I would love to give a
fuller version of our family tree as gifts to the family.
OH! My mom's parents, Duggan & McGuire were born in Cavan and Tipperary, Ireland.
Take Care,
Pat
