Yes, John was very common.. There were not a lot of John "L" Rheas however.
Question? Did any of your Rheas have difficultly reading or writing? I am
doing a genetic origin study on Dyslexia. For example I can verify 10
generations in my Rhea line. Dyslexia is not a IQ things but a way the
brain is wired. In the dyslexia brain there are as many as 100 pathways
between right and left brian lobe. Most non-dyslexia have around three
pathways. One Neurologist shared how both sides compete for control and some
never overcome the struggle. Others it appears who are raised in calmer,
less completive environment not only cope but do very well. All seem to be
successful in their endeavors. Albert Einstein, for example was dyslexic,
as am I, although I read extensively, my brother uncle and grandfather, all
Rhea descendants can't read at all. Siblings of all read well. If you have
any information please share if you can. Dr. Bob Rhea/Barnes
