I get it ...Kate: My family, from Iowa, also has it. I get it from my father's side of the family, although only my father, my sister and I have it in the last two generations. I never saw anyone else with it in the States, but I think it comes from Germany, as that side of the family comes from what was East Prussia, now in Poland. The only other people I've ever seen that have it are also German-descent. Odds are, you got it from an ancestor from North-eastern Germany. And yes, I love mine too. I'd never let anyone change them, and if I ever have children, I hope they get them too. It's a visible link to my family and I'm quite proud of them.

I figured there had to be a name for the "type" of ears I have and started googling. Came across your blog, and so glad that I did! Of all the information online, this was the most helpful. You write that it hasn't been substantiated whether Stahl's ear is hereditary. It must be since my father, brother, my son, and I all have it--those same pointy ears. We've never thought to have surgery for it; we don't really think of them as strange. Probably because we all have them and just consider them another family trait (we're Caucasian, as well). (I like to think of us as a "walking genetic mess." We have a few other rather rare things going on). So... yes, I believe Stahl's ear is hereditary and wanted to say that there is a Caucasian family in the Texas Hill Country with them. Thank you for the wonderful blog! P.S.: I love quilting, too. :) adah25@aol.comKatenoreply@blogger.com
