Janice, you are right about things such as cancer running along genetic lines on our families. While we are documenting our ancestors we should also be doing a medical genealogy at the same time. My Cannon line (my dad's family) all have heart disease. Infact, last year on May 27th my grandfather, my dad's father died with problems due to cardiovascular disease. Then almost a year to the day, this past Thursday, May 20th, one of my grandfather's brothers dropped dead on the sidewalk of a massive heart attack. Knowing what our ancestors died from will be able to help us out in the future. You will be in our prayers Carol Gabriel List Admin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ms.J.HANCOCK" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 12:15 PM Subject: [MARSHALL] O/T > Hi everyone- > I am Janice Marshall-Hancock and my ancestors were MARSHALL-HAWKINS paternal > side MUSIC-ALEXANDER maternal side. > > This may be off topic, but wanted you all to know that I "may" have lung > cancer.
