Greetings, listers. I am sending this to all of the lists that I manage/operate through Rootsweb. I found one like it in a geneological newsletter several years ago and misplaced it. It was recently posted on another list I subscribe to, and I am forwarding it on to all of you. Sometimes, if you can look through your family tree and note that a lot of people (especially children and the elderly) died in the same year within a short time of each other, and the year is lisded as one for an epidemic, they may have died from the epidemic.
