Monthly Program
Join us for a presentation by
Dr. Kimberly Nagy, MD, AG® AGLTM
Session 1: Dropsy, Quinsy, or Consumption: Just exactly what did my ancestor have?
Have you ever wondered what some of the medical terms found on old documents really mean? What is the modern term for those diseases? Was it treatable? Was it contagious? Was this an epidemic? This lecture discusses several commonly used terms for medical ailments.
Session 2: The National Road - America's First Highway
The National Road extended from Cumberland, Maryland to Vandalia, Illinois. It was built in the early 19th century to aid settlers in their westward migration. Many of our midwestern ancestors traveled on, and settled near, the national road.
