MEDICAL HISTORY CAN SUPPORT YOUR RESEARCH As you do your genealogy research, you will find indications of diseases with very strange names, with illnesses which no doubt made differences in their lives, and with causes of death that seem mysterious to the modern researcher. Our discussion will concern itself with medical words, current and old-fashioned, with medical methods that once were the accepted way to deal with illness, and with the history of medical discoveries and inventions that made diseases and surgeries more tolerable for our ancestors. If you¹ve discovered that an ancestor has appeared to suddenly disappear, perhaps a review of the epidemics that swept through an area will be the key to knowing what happened. Join us at the Illinois Interest Group meeting on Saturday, November 13th, at the Higgins Room of the GFO in Portland. We¹ll begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude by 11:30...giving you time for lunch before the monthly meeting of the Forum. Bring your friends, and your experiences in old medicine, and join us for an interesting and informative discussion. If you have questions, write to Kristy at <[email protected]> with IL INT MEETING in the subject so I will recognize your note.
