Greetings Family,
I have spoken to all of the grandchildren of the late Bessie and Fletcher Herbert. With the information I received from each relative, we have composed a listing of our family’s medical history from 1886 to 2011. This is 125 years of documented medical history. This is very important that we know – that we know what we have in our lineage, not only for ourselves but for the future generations. We need to inform our children and their children’s children. How many times have YOU been to the doctor for a routine visit and have been asked what is in your family medical history and you may have replied, “I don’t know.” Well, it is never too late to gather that information. The information compiled will help us to know what we need to be aware of in order to live a healthier life.
My mission is to inform the family of our genetic disposition.
We need to gather and document the medical history from the Wilson’s, Lake’s and Herbert’s collectively. Therefore, your information is vital to complete this medical history tree.
Please add your spouse’s medical history to your personal copy.
This health information only includes the direct descendants of the WLH lineage. I am excited and looking forward to your response.
