/ Death records are often not easy to read, but it’s not about handwriting

Hi Lydia,
I did not realise that the cause of death was ever recorded in the parish records. When my family did research, there was no mention of cause of death for any of our relatives. I wish there had been as it would help to understand what happen and what their life was like. It has left us only guessing what might have caused their deaths, and there has been some stories passed down that have been confusing.
Thank you for your very interesting articles.
Hi lidija,
I am currently looking into my family tree and wondered if you could help. My GG grandfather came to united Kingdom in the 1800’s his name was Antonio Ceclich and he was a shoemaker in Austri or so we believe. There are some croatian routes and I am trying to find out where to go next as I can not retrieve any information of his parents. If you could help at all this would be great.
Regards
Iain Ceclich
Dear Lydia,
Thank you for mentioning this about going through records with causes of death. I recently experienced a day of looking at records like that and it was grueling. The other records I had trouble with were looking at immigration records where people were not accepted into America because of illnesses or lack of money. I can’t imagine making that trip on a ship only to be turned away and then have little or no money to make the return trip.
