I know that child mortality was very high in the cities, as I've seen this time and time again as I research lines that lived in NYC. I also have lines that lived in the rural areas of Long Island and Kansas and they lost WAY fewer children. -Janet Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
