Family History Connect | The cause of death was...

Our 'members-only' series, Family History Connect, feature themed sessions focusing on particular areas of genealogical research.

Sessions are generally facilitated by one of the Society’s wonderful volunteers and this session will take place online.  These sessions are open to all current members of the Society. 

The cause of death was …

Join Patrice Connelly for another webinar, this time looking at causes of death and the strange terms given on the certificates. Did your ancestor die of debility, anasarca, hydrothorax, dropsy, mortification, pigeon fancier’s lung, ague, hydrophobia, bloody flux or an Act of God?

What were some of the unexpected causes of death for you to consider? And what does the cause of death tell you about your ancestor’s lifestyle?

Did they die from diabetes caused by the new fad for having as much sugar as possible, or from peritonitis caused by chronic constipation? This is Part 1 with occupational diseases coming in Part 2.

This is a members only event that will take place via Zoom.

Bookings are essential for this session.
