Oldest rhesus on the block?

I think I must be the oldest survivor of rhesus haemolytic disease and I didn't have a blood transfusion as they had not started. I was born in 1943. Two brothers, one born before me and one after, both died. So many questions left unanswered and it seems no hope of ever getting answers. I would like to know if any of you know of a study telling us more about this.

My two sons, although born late, were born with jaundice although I am positive blood group and so are they. Did this have anything to do with my severe jaundice as a child? The doctor would look at me as if I was quite mad if I tried to get some answers now at my time of life.
