Trying to find Edwards

For several years I have been trying to find any history on what is known in our family as the ‘Edward family hand'. I know that my great grandfather, William Edwards who was born in Slammannan, Falkirk, Scotland on June 2 1897, had small hands. This is one of several symptoms of it, however I do not know if he got it from either his father, John Edwards who was born on August 6, 1856 in Edwards Land, Armadale, or his mother, Davidson Sneddon Johnman who was born on September 25, 1865 in Blackbraes, Muiravonside Stirlingshire. We think it was the Edward side. If you have it or anyone in your family has any of the symptoms of this hand, please get in touch, I would like to think I am not the only one lucky enough to have the full thing.
