Not only left-handed...but so were both my parents and so are both my siblings.
In my life, I've only ever encountered one other person that was true for. Usually, a leftie is the only one in their family (as my parents were.)
Lefties are about 10% of the general population. And there does seem to be a genetic component.
I also find we seem to be more drawn to creative careers and to the arts, so I also know a lot more than most people.
@tyghebright There may be something to that - my lefty friend is a musician, and my favorite guitarists are usually lefties.
@tyghebright Interesting! Come to think of it, I only know one left-handed person, and his parents and siblings are both righties. 🤔
