Genealogy for Beginners
This Power Point presentation was presented as part of our 6-part Finding Your Roots workshop series.
Genealogy Basics
1. Begin your genealogy research by recording what you already know about your family. Then read a genealogy how-to book and begin researching at home using sources like family bibles and records.
2. Next, look for compiled genealogical information published in books, periodicals and online. Research one ancestral line at a time.
3. Original records like census records, vital records and social security death indexes can provide important details to trace your family further back. The census provides information about names, locations and dates to follow family lines over generations.
Genealogy Beginner Workshop
This document provides an overview of genealogy research methods. It discusses where interest in genealogy originated, how to get started with research, common information sources, best practices for recording research findings, pedigree charts, family group records, research logs, and genealogy resources available through the Tewksbury Public Library.
Forensic medicine (forensic pathology)
Forensic pathology involves applying medical knowledge to legal cases. A forensic pathologist determines the cause and manner of death by examining bodies and evidence. Key duties include confirming death, estimating time of death, identifying bodies, interpreting injuries or disease, and determining if death was from natural or unnatural causes. The pathologist must provide an expert opinion on the cause and manner of death to aid legal proceedings.
Identification from skeletal remains
This document discusses methods for determining characteristics like age, sex, and race from skeletal remains. It provides details on assessing these factors from various bones and regions of the skeleton. For age, features of the mandible and spinal column are described at different life stages. Sex determination examines differences in the pelvis, skull, long bones, and other areas between males and females. Metrics like cephalic, nasal, and sacral indices are also provided to help assess race from skull and bone measurements.
Personal identity
This document discusses personal identity in medicolegal cases. It defines personal identity as establishing the individuality of a person. Complete identity means knowing a person's full name and address, while incomplete or partial identity can only establish details like age and sex. Identification is important in both living and dead persons, for cases like inheritance, accidents, unknown bodies, and crime. Methods of determining identity include third party accounts, subjective analysis of a person's physical characteristics and belongings, and objective analysis of biological and non-biological traces. Key parameters include age, sex, race, identity marks, dental records, hair, blood types, diseases, and possessions. At least two important identifying marks should be documented.
Determination of time since death/ postmortem time interval
1. Several post-mortem changes can help estimate time since death, including algor mortis (body cooling), rigor mortis (muscle stiffening), livor mortis (post-mortem lividity), and decomposition.
2. Changes also occur in the skin, eyes, and internal organs after death. Pupil dilation occurs initially but contractions occur with rigor mortis. The vitreous potassium level rises and can indicate time since death.
3. Insect evidence, including the development of blowfly larvae, can help estimate minimum post-mortem interval based on temperature-dependent insect life cycles.
External examination in autopsies with pro forma
The document discusses guidelines for performing an external examination during an autopsy. It emphasizes that the external exam is important for establishing identity, determining cause and manner of death, and looking for natural diseases. An ideal external exam is thorough, documented carefully, and involves photography. Key steps include examining clothing and jewellery, measuring height and weight, documenting injuries or other physical findings, and assessing rigor mortis and livor mortis. Proper identification of the body and consent are also addressed.

External examination of fresh dead body
This document summarizes the key steps and observations in externally examining a fresh dead body. It describes examining the clothes for evidence, skin for defensive wounds or evidence of the killer, eyes for changes indicating time of death, and muscles for signs of rigor mortis. Rigor mortis is important as it gives clues to time and cause of death based on its onset, extent, and disappearance. Other factors like hypostasis, eye changes, and temperature can also provide clues for estimating time of death. The external exam seeks to understand cause and manner of death and detect any post-mortem changes to the body.
Genetic
This document contains 20 spots related to genetics and genetic disorders. Each spot provides questions to test knowledge of specific genetic syndromes, patterns of inheritance, diagnostic tests and antenatal screening options. For example, Spot 1 asks about autosomal dominant inheritance and examples like neurofibromatosis. Spot 2 asks about tests for Down syndrome screening and translocation risks. The document covers a wide range of genetic topics tested in pediatrics exams.

The past four presidents are listed as George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan. Voter turnout percentages from 2000 are provided. Finally, it describes the Electoral College system where electors cast ballots to elect the president, which allows someone to lose the national popular vote but win the election.
Forensics cause & manner of death
This document discusses forensic pathology and determining cause of death. It begins by explaining that pathology is the study of disease and injury to determine cause of death. A medical examiner conducts autopsies to determine the ultimate cause as well as manner and mode of death. There are five possible manners of death: natural, accidental, homicidal, suicidal, and undetermined. The document then discusses specific causes of death like gunshots or blunt force trauma. It also covers determining time of death through factors like rigor mortis, lividity, and body temperature changes. The document provides an overview of the autopsy process and examines topics like gunshot wounds, pathology, and rate of decomposition.
Forensic medicine post mortem artefact
Animal activity after death can cause superficial tissue damage resembling abrasions on bodies found in sandy locations. Insects, ants, beetles and other scavengers will invade the body. In more covered places, mammals like rats, mice, dogs and foxes may feed on bodies when food supplies are low, destroying large areas. Birds like buzzards and crows can pick a body clean in a few days depending on the season. Water bodies host crustaceans, fish and birds that can cause extensive soft tissue damage, with characteristic marks. During autopsy, pathologists must be careful not to misinterpret accidental bone fractures or tissue damage caused by their own actions as injuries. Clinicians' resuscitation efforts or diagnostic techniques ante
Pathophysiology of asphyxia & drowning
