Hi all, You know I made the drive, Nance. I will dig out my info and fill you in on the 3 sections. Cheryl also attended -- not sure if she is watching the list now. Sounds like she has been very busy! It was nice to hear from the archivists themselves about what info they have and to ask questions, related to the topic or otherwise. Did you know that the cause of death in young adulthood was 'lumbering' for men and 'childbirth' for women? I don't remember if it was Larry Lynch from EC or Kevin T. from Dunn Co. who thought that the women's stats were strange until consulting a nutritionist who told him the average birth weight 'back then' was 10-14 pounds (!) due to all the starchy foods our ancestors ate. Between the young adult years and about 45 years old, the main cause of death was T.B. If a person made it over the 45, they usually lived longer than we do now! Interesting stuff, Happy hunting, Laurie [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/7898/genindex.htm
