Family history research is a favored avenue of relaxation. It is a Sherlock-like activity that can continue almost anywhere at any time.

I am very glad you posted this! My grandfather’s first wife (while not proven) I believe she died because of the 1918-19 influenza epidemic. My grandfather died of pulmonary TB in 1951.
Very interesting!
