I am looking for living relatives. My grandmother,Ethel Goldy Jenkins was Lillie Maude Jenkins' sister. We have in our family a rare form of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and there is a on going study, on our family to isolate the responsible gene. I have been told by my Uncle Merritt that the Thompson family also has had family members with this desiese. If any one has information on this family and feels comfortable in doing so, please contact me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
