Hi searchingmyroots. I haven't been around, for a while, not since the forum moved/changed some time ago. For some reason it wouldn't accept my password. Don't know why. Then recently I thought I'd try again and it worked! Strange, eh?
Late last evening I noticed your post mentioning the bones, of the hand and as a retired Operating Room/Theatre nurse I thought that I should step in here.
Per hand there are 14 finger bones, called phalanges (5 proximal, 4 middle and 5 digital), 5 metacarpal bones and 8 carpal bones, for a total of 27 bones, not 14, per hand.
Sorry to be the one, to throw a wet blanket, but there is no coincidence, between yad adding up to 14 and the number of bones, of the hand.
