• There is no cure for Hashimotos' disease but medication.
• This disease is NOT contagious ;) ;)

Hannah Kennedy as far as I know has hashimotos' disease, unfortunately my family was not very good at keeping records because of slavery. So there is no pictures of Hannah that we could find.

Mahaily Kennedy is the daughter of Hannah Kennedy, hashimotos' disease was passed on to her. There is no pictures that were found of her because of slavery.

Hazel Kennedy( Mother Dear) is the daughter of Mahailey in which hashimotos' was passed down to her as well.

Deborah Ethel McKinley is the daughter of Hazel in which she has hashimotos' disease.

Sharon Marie McKinley is the daughter of Deborah, out of 9 siblings she is the only girl that has hashimotos' disease. The other siblings do not have hashimotos' therefor it has skipped them and will go on to the next generation.

Luisa Rayleen Wandrie, I am the daughter of Analisa Marie Wandrie, my mom has not been diagnosed with hashimotos' disease and has been tested. My mom has been skipped but I was diagnosed with hashimotos' disease when I was 8 years old.

Thank you Block 4 you ROCK!!!!
