: any aussies anywhere out there with CLL? -

[Guest guest]

My mom is from Australia. My relatives there date back to the First Fleeters. I

have three direct links to them. One line comes down through Ann Forbes

(convict). I also have a Dringle(convict). Then the ship's doctor

Arundle?

I'm currently on vacation so my detailed info would be at home. Not sure if this

is the sort of info you are interested in? Following family lines? My mom's

father came from England around the 1910 or there abouts?

denise currently in Orem Utah and wow the mountains look great

- I, very personally, am convinced that there is such a thing as familial CLL - the establishment does not yet agree with me. Can you shed some more light?
