Anesthesia Reaction

I am having my first medical procedure involving Anesthesia tomorrow. I have some distant cousins (3rd cousins I think) that died from some reactions to Anesthesia back in the 70's. I am having concerns that this is something that was passed down to me. I know that we used different medicines back in the 70's and monitoring is way better now. But my main questions are, is there a medical similarity to the medicines then and the medicines used back then? Does the fact that I have this history in my family make me more likely to have a reaction now? Or are they so different that it doesn't even matter??

Forgive a silly worrier here, but just looking for some way to calm down my mind
