Keeping track...can be a task by itself

I went through the familysearch.com and searched for all of the African Americans with the last name Womack, my search options were: 'Wom*', United States, Texas, Marshall Texas this was to find any Womack that was born or died in Marshall, Texas during a certain time period. I will use this as a guide during my research. I found myself going and forth when doing my research, especially when names come up and they look familiar. I type and copied all the 'Womack' names and put them in a binder. I colored coded them by male and female and then by the month and year born. This tool may help some of you that may be researching your family history. The more I discover, I will add them to my list. In fact, there were more on ancestry.com. After taking listing them, I went back to see what I could find on that person and made note and inserted the notes behind that person. This also tells me how and if they are related to my family.

About Me

Hello Family Tree Researcher, my name is Jacqueline Joyce Thomas (born to Gene E. Thomas and Brendel Joyce Lewis) of Texas in '67 . I began doing my family tree search when my son (C. Hicks) was born. He was unfortunately born with Nephrogenic Insipidus Diabetes. When he was two weeks old I could not get him to take his formula, the only thing he would drink was water. We took him to the local emergency room, where the hospital staff spent hours doing test after test and the end result were "we are still uncertain of what is wrong with your son". My heart fell to pieces. The next few days, still nothing. Finally on the forty-fifth day of his prolonged stay , they decided to care flight him to a Children's Hospital where it still took nineteen days for the final results and even then they were not sure. The doctor came into the room with his long white doctor's coat and his glasses hanging from his nose with the final thought (not answer). Ms. Hicks (at the time), "could you have a seat?" My thought was, okay then comes "is you son mixed with Caucasian?" My reply with anger and confusion in my heart was, mixed, with who?...not what but who! And not that I was cared or anything, I have mixed nieces and nephews. Then he went on to explain to me that "that type of diabetes was uncommon, and that it only occurred in every three thousand children" annnnndddd'ah-Rah...here is the killer..."that it only occurred in Caucasian males." Gathering my thoughts and physical seemed to be out of the question. It was not until he turned four years old that I begin getting more and more curious. So next to my son being born with a rare type of diabetes that only (according the doctor) in Caucasian males and me being adopted, I became one curious Sista'. The search began.
