Monday, 6-Dec-21 at 6:00 PM.  UNDERSTANDING HISTORICAL CAUSES OF DEATH-   Death certificates are important resources when researching the lives of our ancestors. However, due to factors such as outdated terminology and the limits of medical knowledge in the past, it can be hard to interpret the causes of death given.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 some of those factors, and points to resources that can help you find out what your ancestors really died of. Fortin
