I've just come across my late mother's blood group card in a plastic wallet.
It's dated April 1957 by the SW (England) Regional Blood Tranfusion Service and it states her blood group as.. A Rh Positive.
Mum had several operations during her life time and the hospital always had to make sure that they had enough of this particular blood group in, whenever she had an op.
The interesting thing that Mum told me, when I was young, is that her blood group originated from the Black Foot Indians of America! At least that's what the hospital told her.
Mum and her parents were all born in Dublin Ireland.
I'm curious to know if she inherited this blood group from her mother or her father and would her sisters have had the same blood group??
Does it mean that somebody in a previous generation had a 'friendly encounter' with one of Wild Bill whatsisname and his Indians travelling circus.???
