The Sherman Family's 108-Year Gender Tradition Comes to an End

In a remarkable family history rooted in Texas, the Sherman family has maintained a remarkable and consistent tradition for over a century. For 108 years, every single baby born into the Sherman lineage has been a boy, earning the family the affectionate nickname "The Shermans," a term affectionately associated with their streak of male births.

A Long-Standing Family Tradition

This longstanding pattern started with the earliest generations and persisted through many decades, creating an unbroken chain of male heirs. The last girl in the family was Ora Bell Sherman, born in 1917, marking the end of an era. Her birth was the last time the family welcomed a daughter into their lineage until recent events.
