Dottie,
There is a lot of uncertainty as to where our Mitchell
line may have originated from- They prob. came from
somewhere in Pa.,so we are told, but there is no
evidence to validate that. We know that some of them
settled in Miss. My gfather married and remained in Tenn.
apparently all his adult life. He and my gmother are
laid to rest there.
Our Mitchell line has the kidney problem.This is
apparently the way it passes- Male passes to dau, dau
becomes carrier & passes to male offspring. Males
may or may not have the active/dormat desease but
will always have the mutant gene & pass it on. It
is not often that a female will be affected by the
disease itself.We believe there has only been one
female in our generation,However there are so many
factors involved that it is possible there have been
others yet unknown.We think there have been about
11 males (now deceased) just in my generation.
This has been a very difficult process to follow
and we need to establish further Mitchell links
to know not only where we are going but where we
are in our understanding of the problem.
It seems there are deadends from every direction
on the our Mitchell line. There are hundreds of
kidney diseases that are diagnosed as "nephritis"
without being specific.
Where do we go from here is not certain - we must first
find that one Mitchell link.
Any help would be appreciated, you never know where a clue
might lead.
