Genealogy: Uncovering Your Ancestry

I hope you have gained a lot of information about your family history from the links I have given you. I usually don't recommend anyone spend any money on programs and such until they are ready, but if you think you are ready I can recommend an ebook that will be very helpful.

Genealogy: Uncovering Your Ancestry is a beginners genealogy eBook covering everything there is to know about genealogy research and it's easy for the average person to follow! In fact, some people have called it the "Genealogy Manual"!

The best part is you can download it and be reading it in less than 90 seconds. Another great feature is that is has a full 8 week guarantee and if you don't like the book you will get a 100% refund and you can keep the book for just trying it out. Wow! That is a good deal.

Sometimes during your searches you will come across death certificates or other records with medical terms that you don't recognize. Long ago they used a lot of medical terms that, many if not most, are no longer used today.

Here is a list of some of those terms with their meanings.
Apoplexy - Stroke

Bad blood - Syphilis

Consumption - Tuberculosis

Decrepitude - Feebleness due to old age

Dropsy - Congestive Heart Failure

French Pox - Syphilis

LaGrippe - Influenza

Lock jaw - Tetanus

Podagra - Gout

This is just a short list. There are many more. If you have a disease or cause of death and can't find out what it means, let me know and I will look it up for you.
