Genealogy
tip for today: Medical Glossaries
To follow the thread of conversation we’ve been
having, here is a listing of glossaries that I have found. It is by no means
comprehensive. You may find others. But these are medical and/or cause of
deaths listings that should help you in your research. 100 years ago terms were
used on records that we no longer use today. These glossaries can help you
interpret or define the terms that were used, so you can understand their
meaning now.
