Hi Does anyone out there have a family member or members with little fingers that go crooked when they are in the late 50's or 60's. Its is a Gene related thing that is passed on the female side, and can now be put right with a minor operation. From what I 've read there are people all over the world with this. I have it, my mother had it (she's had the operation) but it might be interesting to find out the source of the Gene coming to England (my mother family is from the North of England). It seem to be well documented in America, Germany and even India. Anyone got any info on this please contact me. Audrey.

I'm probably talking through a hole in my hat but I'm sure I read somewhere it was a sign you were decended from the Vikings (or Norsemen) Norah

Is this the same thing as Dupuytrens (sp?) Contracture? This comes on later in life usually - Margaret Thatcher had an operation for this, I remember. Olde Crone

My little fingers on both hands curve inwards at the top, as if I have been wearing gloves that are too tight!!! They have always been like that I think, I noticed many years ago and read somewhere it is a sign that you are not as honest as you should be. Oh well, I'll just blame it on the tight gloves!!
