They Died of What?!: Understanding Historical Causes of Death with Karen Fortin

Death certificates are important resources when researching the lives of our ancestors. However, due to outdated terminology and the limits of medical knowledge in the past, it can be hard to interpret the causes of death given. This presentation examines these limitations and other factors and provides resources that can help you to better understand what your ancestors might have died from.

This event will only be virtual. A Zoom link and a handout will be emailed to all registrants prior to the program.

Registration is now open on the Wheaton Public Library's events calendar:
