I am wondering if any other families from Gottschee have had deaths in their family from multiple myeloma. There are several types, but they are all in the same family of disease. I have lost 3 first cousins to this disease, a third cousin, and several who are probably 5 cousins or even a little more distant. My first cousins had agnogenic myeloid metaplasia(2) and acute myelomonocyctic leukemia (1).
