Oh when you ask God to reveal things to you - he does so perfectly!
I have contacted more of the Middlebrook Family

I believe is the originally spelling.)

>Sharon Middlebrooks (who is my Aunt Christine's 1st cousin)
>Mildred (I forget her lastname)
I am getting a lot of history on the Middlebrooks.
I will do more intense searching for any information regarding the "Trail
of Tears". It seems that I had a Great, great, great, grand mother who was Cherokee or Blackfoot Indian and was part
of the "Trail of Tears".
I am also doing a search for a "Jane Middlebrooks".

November 28th 2006
Our Thanksgiving was blessed! My son, husband and I had such a good time.
We had fellowship & prayed a lot........God is good
My cousin was cured of stage 4 Breast cancer! (sadly the cancer came back with
a vengence and it over took her in her spine, thigh and bones. So she was tired of the pain & the treatment -
she wanted to go home and be with her Lord. So, she told her husband to let her go. She would go to rest
on Jan 5, 2008) Yes, God is a healer........but he also knows our destiny...Not our will Lord, but thy will
be done.
Also met another cousin - Gwen
Found out that there is Cherokee indian in my family and that I had a great, great,
great, great grandmother who happened to be Caucasion.... WOW
Met some other relatives from Oklahoma & Houston TX (who are being standoffish)
We are planning a family reunion for some or get acquainted for others. lol
06/24/2006
I may have to hire a private detective to find other brothers and sisters of
mine that may be out there. The song "Papa was a rolling stone" comes to mind quite often when I receive more &
more information regarding my biological father. I do not mean that he was a person that would love and leave you
but I mean that he was a free spirit and loved positive people, especially women. lol.
It seems that my father had a soothing singing voice (that is where Angela &
myself get our voices I imagine) and he used to travel with a band back in the 60's & 70's. Many women were
in love with him and his voice........so stay tuned........
05/17/2006
My husband and I finally met my sister Angela and her wonderful family!
Angela has such an angelic singing voice - I am so proud of her!
Her children are so cute & mannerable.
My brother-in-law is a professional builder and they are such good people!
Angela and I have so many similiar characteristics.
Both her husband & mine say that we look so much alike!
We have got to get to know one another better!
05/20/2006
I met my Aunt Christine & (her daughter) my first Cousin Linda and her husband
Marvin - they are such down to earth people and fun to be around! We had such a great time hanging out with them - even
though it was for a short time - we are so looking forward to returning to TX (especially my husband - lol)
12/2/2005
Just found out that I have another sister (Angela) who still lives in
Fort Worth, TX.
We have talked a few times today
She is so pretty!
She has one adorable daughter and two handsome sons - she is also happily
married.
The Lord is really opening up doors and revealing things to all of us!
Plus, my Step Mom also told me that there may possibly be another brother approx
in his 50's now living in Tyler, TX - she says that he may have been born while my father was at Emmett Scott High School..
****UPDATE
Found my Step-Mother & my Fathers whereabouts on July 11, 2005......
After 35 years of wondering - I finally got my answer...
I have another Mother and she is the widow of my Father.
She is such a sweet, down to earth lady - it is as if we have talked
for years!
TO: Mother Bobbie Middlebrook:
I salute you for being the love of my Father's life!
Thank you for loving him and making him happy for all those years!
I look forward to meeting you and staying in contact with you!
I pray that you and I have that Mother-Daughter relationship that I don't
have and with my real Mother. Maybe one day we all can
get together
Who knows........
Marqueshia James - possibly located in California - she is the daughter of my late brother Xavier Durand Middlebrook who
past away a few years ago in CA.
**** UPDATE

& beautiful people!
Thank God for opening up doors for us!
