I'm doing some research on the Slabaugh/Slaubaugh family of Preston Co., WV. Has anyone come across a reference to Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, or to family members who had problems walking in their latter years? Since this isn't a cause of death, death certificates aren't very useful, and, I'm sure, that walking problems could have been attributed to arthritus and old age, as some were undoubtable exactly that.
Thanks,
Susie
