Our family traits seem to be fairly run of the mill. About half of us are short and I am included in that one for sure. I used to be 5 ft. 2 in. but I've shrunk in my age down to 5 ft. There are some in my family that are diabetic and a lot with heart disease and high blood pressure.<br /><br />You mentioned families changing over generations and that made me wonder about something. Here in the US there has been a big trend of children growing taller due to all the hormones in the milk and meats. Now they are finally beginning to not add those hormones due to various studies. I wonder if we will see the effect of that in new generations or if the taller children will somehow pass a tall gene on to their children?

As for me, putting on weight and then losing it when older seems to be a trend and both my Mum and my Gran, as I have, ended up living a long way from their home towns!<br />Diabetes runs in the family although my Gran avoided it one of her daughters and two sons had it!<br />The strangest trait continues in our family, neither my Mum or I can't bear to drink hot drinks and I only found out a few year ago that my brother can't either!<br /><br />I'm sure I will think of others but your question brought these to mind!<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br />Hugs, Chrispearshapedcraftinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744515186281908192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-15928826624765948102020-03-06T12:37:59.235-06:002020-03-06T12:37:59.235-06:00Hm, my family is from all over Europe, I can’t thi...Hm, my family is from all over Europe, I can’t think of any common thread, except only two of us are blond while everybody else is dark-haired.
