The following is a response to a letter sent to the AMA that was on one of the rootsweb lists regarding deceased physicians: It is as follows: Thank you for contacting the American Medical Association regarding your genealogy inquiry. We welcome the opportunity to assist you. As a general policy, the AMA Department of Records Management and Archives refers all questions concerning deceased physicians to two outside sites that house the AMA's Deceased Physician Records 1804-1969 on microform. Site#1 - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Family History Library, 35. N. West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150; www.lds.org. You can call their 1-800 number for the location of a family history research center near you at 1-800-240-2331. Site #2 - The National Genealogy Society, 4527 17th St. North, Arlington, VA 22207-2399;www.ngsgenealogy.org; 1-800-473- 0060. Both of these sites are researcher-friendly and should provide you with excellent service. In addition, you may wish to contact the state/county/city medical societies the deceased practiced in. They may also have records. The very best of luck in your research and thank you again for contacting the American Medical Association.
