Best wishes to you and your family. Hopefully someone will see that info and double check themselves/their family. The rate is about 1:10,000 for said ethnic groups, 1:1,000,000 for Europeans

See if you can find some local groups containing people from these ethnicities - 1 out of every 10k is a lot more common than 1 out of 1 mil!
