To all on the MdCarroll List, I thought I would share a couple of very helpful websites that might help you with understanding an occupation or a disease that one of your ancestor had work in or died from and these sites has more to offer. A Barrel of Genealogy Links, hosted by John Lacombe, http://cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/mark.html He has 299 of his favorite genealogical links and he is compling a list of Occupations. Also he has up 124 Civil War links. Would you know the different between a muleminder, a muleskinner or a muleteer? http://cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/terms.html Cyndi's List at http://www.CyndisList.com There is at this time 91,200 links and one that might be a help to you all is old diseases and medical terms at http://www.CyndisList.com/medical.htm Enjoy!
