Michael Sherman Jr. was brought to tears during his gender reveal on Sunday.

He and his wife Joacquia Sherman made family history, breaking a streak that lasted more than a century. For the first time in 108 years in this Texas family tree, a daughter will be born.

“I just feel honored that, finally, we are the ones bringing the baby girl into the world. Finally, after over a hundred years. It’s amazing,” Michael Sherman Jr. said in a News4Jax report. He and his wife also have a 5-year-old son.

Sherman’s great-great aunt Orah Belle Sherman was the last girl to bear the family name. She was born in 1917 and became a Civil Rights trailblazer in Atlanta, according to the family.

For generations, only sons have been born into the Montgomery County Texas firefighter’s family.

Great-grandmother Lydia Robertson said she has been waiting for Sherman’s baby girl for more than 50 years.

Generations, Sherman sons and other relatives surrounded the family as they celebrated a special daughter, ready to welcome the new addition with love.

The baby is due in March 2026.
