jjares reviewed From Dust to Data: How ILCD and ICD Codes Can Guide Genealogical Journeys on + 3537 more book reviews
I understand why this book is so redundant; Mr MacEntee must adjust his writing for all levels of genealogy skills. For a newbie, this book is very informative and helpful. For someone with more advanced skills, this is a bit of overkill. However, this is an essential addition to any genealogist's toolbox. He explains in detail how medical codes came about and what they tell a genealogist about medical history. Of course, the purpose of knowing what someone died of can be essential genetic information for current generations.
Then, he pivots to the ethics and compassion needed to discuss death statistics that affect family members. Having dealt with this issue, he is spot on with his suggestions. I found this to be an excellent explanation of the changing medical codes and their interpretation.
