I just joined the list yesterday - I was the one who sent the VERY long bio on my FIL. (He is going to be 70 this month - and I said he was 68!) Anyway, I noticed some discussion about other family members having PD as well. My FIL is the youngest son in a very large Italian family of 9 children. His brother directly older than he - had PD as well - and died several years ago. At one point there was even some talk about pesticides directly being related? The family business was maintaining and selling vegetables from their enormous gardens. Anyone else ever hear of this? Tammy
