Interesting Aberdeen & Dundee archives

Post by emanday » Thu Jul 27, 2006 3:40 pm

OK, so I was bored again :D Decided to try and find out if any lists of smallpox victims existed to find out if one of my adult rellies succumbed as well as his son, and both other entries on that page (Stirling 1857).

Well you know how one link usually leads to another (none of which helped ME at all :evil: )....

I like the way the 'Result' column either says 'cured' or 'dead'. Nothing more, nothing less!
