Many times I’ve been told, if the opportunity presents itself to attend Alison Hare’s lecture on cholera, I must do so. She has delivered her popular lecture in Ottawa and Toronto and at several National Genealogical Society conferences in the United States, and I missed each of those events. Fortunately, now she’s going to deliver her always well-attended presentation online.
Legacy Family Tree Webinars in conjunction with The Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) will host the free webinar, The Time of Cholera: A Case Study about Historical Context, presented by Ms. Hare on Tuesday, July 20, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.
London’s cholera epidemic of 1854 is best known as the story of Dr. John Snow, the Broad Street water pump and a map. But who were the people who died? This session describes the discoveries made when a genealogist whose ancestor died in the epidemic sets out to identify the forgotten victims.
