The Genealogist's Resource for Interpreting Causes of Death.

Antiquus Morbus is a collection of archaic medical terms and their old and modern definitions.  The primary focus of this web site is to help decipher the Causes of Death found on Mortality Lists, Certificates of Death and Church Death Records from the 19th century and earlier. This web site will be updated often and as new information is received. My intention is to collect and record old medical terms in all European languages. The English and German lists are the most extensive to date.

Each term is only listed once. Check under the other headings if the term is not in the alphabetical lists. Also, try the Google search tool below.

 Please send me an email with any unlisted words or phrases that you have come across. They will be added to the "undefined" page after review. All new terms will eventually be added to the alphabetical lists. Please include the language that the term is from.

I am happy to help transcribe and translate your hard to read Causes of Death. If possible, please include a scan of the record with your email. It is always more helpful to see the handwritten original when trying to figure out the difficult words.

* Please email to me your examples of causes of death so that I can paste them into the web site. I rely on your help to make this website accurate, thorough and interesting by including your input and feedback.
