Scrofula, the Sloes and Shoddy Fever

We listened to an excellent presentation during this week's Zoom meeting. Maureen gave an overview of diseases, treatments, epidemics, and old terms for causes of death that we might find on our ancestors' death certificates. 


We learned a bit about each of the terms in her title, and she included information on the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. 


The session also provided an overview of where to find records that might tell us what diseases or conditions affected our ancestors during different time periods.


Thanks, Maureen, for such covering such a broad topic so efficiently!
