Ancestral Findings
Well into the nineteenth century, infectious diseases were
the most frequent causes of death. Infant mortality was high,
and knowledge of specific disease syndromes was limited. As
a result of this limited medical knowledge, the information
on death certificates, as interesting as it is to family
historians, may be puzzling, if not downright misleading.
Ancestral Findings
Nostalgia, that wonder about the past, is a part of life.
People often wonder what it was like in the old days and how
their ancestors lived. Some even wish they could have lived
during those earlier times. Those of us with German genes
sometimes wish we could experience the "good days" in the
storybook land of Germany as it was several hundred years
ago. To "reconstruct" the everyday life and times of our
Palatinate kin, let's return to a region of small villages
around the turn of the 18th century. This rural setting in
the southwestern part of the country is the area from which
most of the earliest Germanic immigrants came in colonial
American days.
