What is a Medical Family Tree?

A medical family tree is a special type of family tree, researched for the sole purpose of discovering any genetic problems in your family history. Possibly a doctor suspects that a member of your family may have a hereditary condition, or you may have noticed that some branches of your tree seem to live longer than others. When I research a medical family tree for you, I focus upon tracing a person’s ancestors and obtaining death certificates, to provide today’s doctors with potentially useful information to help them diagnose and treat a patient.
