Without a DNA test, you're just guessing and hypothesising.
The genetic Viking link to claw hand is just one of about 30 causes of this condition. Some others are:-
• Ampola syndrome -
• Angiokeratoma - mental retardation - coarse face -
• Arthrogryposis - ophthalmoplegia - retinopathy -
• Arthrogryposis IUGR thoracic dystrophy -
• Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita neurogenic type -
• Aural atresia - multiple congenital anomalies - mental retardation -
• Blepharophimosis - nasal groove - growth delay -
• Blepharophimosis - nasal groove - growth retardation -
• Camptodactyly - fibrous tissue hyperplasia - skeletal dysplasia -
• Camptodactyly, fibrous tissue hyperplasia, and skeletal dysplasia -
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease - deafness -
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Type 1B -
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Type 1E -
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Type 2F -
• Chondrodysplasia punctata with steroid sulfatase deficiency -
• Chromosome 1, monosomy 1p22 p13 -
• Chromosome 15, trisomy mosaicism -
• Chromosome 15q duplication mosaicism -
• Craniofacial dysostosis - arthrogryposis - progeroid appearence -
• Frontonasal dysplasia - phocomelic upper limbs -
• Hypoplasia of the tibia with polydactyly -
• Mental retardation unusual facies ampola type -
• Mental retardation, Wolff type -
• Muller-Barth-Menger syndrome -
• Oral facial digital syndrome, type 4 -
• Pitt-Hopkins syndrome -
• Stratton-Parker syndrome -
• Unusual facies, macrocephaly, aplasia of corpus callosum, seizures, hypertrichosis,and overlapping fingers -
So, for a few dollars you can find-out the truth
The rest is just.... well .... you know ...
Worse, we think that you're misleading others.
We have no DNA results yet showing that a Woolstencroft
or other Ws descended from Wolstencroft have any
DNA origins other than R1b .. but we HAVE other different
family surname origins from Lancs that have the same
HaploType as us Ws.
You may of course be different .. but without the test
it's just supposition .. and unhelpful at that
