Coweta County Genealogical Society volunteers are busy transcribing CSA Medical Records that are in the possession of the society. There are approximately 1,000 hard to read pages that are filled with the names of soldiers and hospital personnel, names that would be very important to researchers near and far.
There are 5-6 binders which, in most cases, contain the names of patients, their rank, regiment, company, type of injury or illness, and the date of death or discharge. The records are broken down by Hospital. I have just finished extracting the names from the Buckner Hospital, Book 1.
WOW! This is going to be a valuable tool to many researchers once completed. Imagine the excitement of finding your relative's name among these records, and knowing that he was in a hospital in Newnan, GA during the Civil War. Imagine him being served a side dish of Calf's Foot Jelly during his hospital stay! YES, there is a reference to this tasty dish in these records. Maybe I'll be brave enough to post a recipe for Calf's Foot Jelly in the near future, but don't count on me to give it a taste-test. Uh... don't count on me to even cook it!!
I'm hoping we can entice you to come on down to Grantville, GA and visit the Coweta County Genealogy Society. We have a huge collection of genealogical and historical information from Georgia to California! If you have a little bit of spare time we'll enlist your help in preserving our history for future generations. Please visit the Coweta County Genealogical Society's website at www.ccgsinc.org
Please support your local genealogical society!

EMR has been advocated as an advance that will diminish physicians’ legal vulnerability by providing much better documentation and communication with colleagues.
ReplyDeleteOwing to a better need to increase efficiency inside the medical offices, many medical practitioners are searching for software that will be able to take care of all of their client needs. Electronic Medical Records are in fact a vital case and should be treated as precious as a patient’s life may be ruined in no time.
a great deal of emphasis is being placed n the use of an electronic medical record to reduce errors and duplications, as well as increase patient safety.
