Can you understand causes of death on certificates?
Does the certificate illustrate what's causing problems in the community?
SoG Genealogist, Else Churchill, is waiting to welcome you to our virtual common room to discuss how, when and why our ancestors died. Bring along your own collection of death certificates especially any with intriguing, illegible or baffling causes of death.
So grab a sandwich or a cuppa and sit down with us. Our lunchtime chats are friendly and relaxed.
