Dead Men Do Tell Tales: Recreating Life in a Community Using Death Certificates  (Program)

Doris Wood Branch Library, 180 S. 3rd St, Batavia, OH, 45103 & Virtual Meeting

Presenter: Karen Fortin – Genealogical Researcher
Death certificates can tell us a lot about how our ancestors lived and died.  When looked at as a group they can also tell us about life and death in their communities.  This presentation focuses on an analysis of death certificates from Attleboro, Massachusetts over a five-year period, and shows how they can provide us with a window into the lives of the people who lived there. 
Karen received a Bachelor's Degree in History and a Master's Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of South Florida. She worked at the Barbara S. Ponce Public Library in Pinellas Park, FL for 30 years before deciding to focus on genealogical research. 
Karen's passion for history and research led her to an interest in genealogy. She began volunteering with the Pinellas Genealogy Society in Largo, FL in 2012, and was the society's president from 2014-2017. Karen began providing genealogy and history presentations in 2016 and has lectured at various genealogical societies and public libraries, and for other interested organizations. One of her goals is to help people explore historical periods, places, and events so that they can better understand their ancestry.
