I am trying to find my 2nd or maybe 3rd. cousin who grew up in the country on a farm. My grt aunt Alberta Mitchell,Rinehart is a sister to my grt.Gramma Josephine Mildred Mitchell,Stump,Strippinger. They were born in Coles co.IL in Mattoon,twp. Alberta was born 1906 thier parent were;
Geo.Washington Mitchell and Mary Francis(Fanny Russell b. in Mo.) Alberta as well as Josephine died of renal failure from a genetic disease thet has hit every generation including me and my children and so far one grandson.It is called;
Polycystic disease.But didn`t know that it also affects the liver not just the kidneys as we were told while growing up and watching our mothers die with it untill my mom`s one bro. didn`t have it in his kidneys only in his liver.when he died in oct. 1977 But both of his bro. and my mom died with it in thier kidneys.I and my sister have it in both. I had a kidney transplant in nov. 1997 but still have the disease in the liver.
Well what I am looking for is to find out if Alberta`s 3 children have it too.
She had Betty Jean and Grace and I think the son`s name is Kenneth .I know in the 1960`s the girls didn`t live too fa. and Betty Jean had 5 children and I think Grace had 3 Kenneth I dont remember if he had any ,,I dont remember meeting him I think he was in the service because I dont remember seeing him at his parents funerals. Thier thier mom died in 1965 they announced her death at the Arcola hosp. I dont remember where she was burie I also would like to know., and I dont remember when thier father died it was between 1965 and 1974,
My mom and her brothers used to go there in the summer and when her fruit trees and bushes were ready to pick they would help her and of course bring some home IF they didn`t eat them all.
Thank you for your time.Rosetta jrnrj2003@yahoo.com
