I don't think it's unusual at all. This is probably something your family just didn't talk about. When my mom's mom was still living, we'd try to ask about her past but for whatever reason, she never wanted to talk about it. We don't know if her past was painful or if she just wasn't interested. My grandfather, on the other hand, loved to tell his old stories, so we know much more about his life and history. Also, I think it's one thing to know your family's history, but quite another to know their <i>health</i> history. Even today, when I go to the eye doctor, they ask if anyone in my family has/had glaucoma. I know my dad's eyes are being treated for something but I can never remember if it's glaucoma or cataracts, so I end up saying I"m not sure. (After this last time, I confirmed that it was cataracts--I just have to commit it to memory for the next time they ask me.)
