When I was growing up my mother would say all her relatives are dead, which was true and not true.
In my mother's immediate family, that was true. Her father died when she was about 4 ½ years old all she remembers is "her father was running a fever her mother gave him some aspirin and few hours later he was gone". Her mother died from Huntington's Disease an inherited disease passed down from one generation to the next. In Huntington's the person is usually deceased by the time they reach the age of 50. Her mother died at age 48, and older sister at age 4 and other older sister died at age 50. Her older brother died at age 18 in grain elevator accident. One of her younger brothers died at age 5 and another we are not sure what he died from, but he died in the Austin, Texas State School at the age of 38. My mother lived to the age of 74. In the 1980's, when my aunts gave me their information and my mother died, I tried to put together some of the information but doing by hand it was a struggle. My mother had lost contact with a lot of her Uncles, Aunts and cousins over years, but in the last ten years of her life she was reacquainted with most of them by accident. She ran into a cousin's wife that worked at a mall called Seminary South and from there she found most of all of her close relatives in the area. She died on January 1 and most of her relatives back then sent Christmas Cards and a lot of them I did not know as I had been gone from home for a while. I wrote back to them told them about mother and asked about the genealogy because at the time one of the granddaughters of my mother's sister was in the first stages of Huntington's and asked if I could get some genealogy/medical history on the family. I received at least ten letters and a lot of the information I received I still use that as a guideline today. |
| In my research this is what I have found so far.
