Alzheimer's Disease

60TH EDITION OF THE COG

The topic for the next edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is:

Alzheimer's Disease

- ¤ -

November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month and it's a good time to reflect on the impact that Alzheimer's Disease (dementia) has had on your family history.

- ¤ -

An estimated 5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer's Disease.

- ¤ -

A new case is diagnosed every 72 seconds.

- ¤ -

Undoubtedly someone you know will or has some form
of this debilitating dementia.

- ¤ -

Alzheimer's robs people of their memories and all that they could
have passed on in the way of family history.
What does that mean to you?

- ¤ -

If you are fortunate enough to have not been effected by Alzheimer's Disease
in your family, perhaps you will share the impact of another
serious medical condition that has impacted your family.

- ¤ -

How have you gone about researching your family's medical history?
