I read about it this morning from The Legal Genealogist and on the Family Search Blog. This also made me realize that I have been severely neglecting getting death certificates! Some have been very hard to obtain but others really shouldn’t be, I’ve just let obituary’s do the talking for me. I think this could be a great record for keeping track of your family’s health history though so I plan on making this chart a lot more complete!

The asterisk for my grandmother’s mom is because this is rumor of how she died. I know she was sick and this is what I heard she was sick from. I haven’t confirmed it yet. I am happy to see some longevity in the family though!
