karen, for several years i worked at a medical school, and the physical therapy program included anatomy classes. that class used cadavers, which were ordered from anatomical associations or cadavers associations. that very well could be the anatomical society you are searching for. it's possible, your relative's body was donated to science. you may be able to find out IF the body was donated, but other than that, I remember being told that those records were extremely confidential. www.anatsoc.org.uk/ here's the website of the society's office in the uk. you might learn more about their society through this website. i googled the kansas city society, but the page came up missing. good luck. cindyhal@illinois.edu ---- Original message ---- >Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:34:57 -0600 >From: Karen H <wk.haffermehl@sasktel.net> >Subject: Re: [KANSASCITY] Anatomical Society >To: kansascity@rootsweb.com > >Thanks >Karen >----- Original Message ----- >From: "JoLynne Martinez" <jmartinez5@kc.rr.com> >To: <kansascity@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 4:25 PM >Subject: Re: [KANSASCITY] Anatomical Society > > >>I have no idea what the Anatomical Society was, but my first guess was that >> perhaps he generously donated his body to be dissected by medical >> students? >> >> -- JoLynne >> >> >> On 9/10/08 4:29 PM, "Karen H" <wk.haffermehl@sasktel.net> wrote: >> >>> Hi everyone! >>> I am new to your list and I am so excited!
