For the survey:

Neither I, nor my husband have tt, nor anyone other in the extended families as far as I can recall (and I do observe because it interests me).

Both our children are tt'd. TT's are not corrected so far and there are s, sh, tch and r-sound pronounciation difficulties to some degree in both children (10 and 4 years old). My son snores loudly too and did so even when he was a small baby.
