| In case you ever wondered why a large number of your ancestors disappeared during a certain period in history, this might help. Epidemics have always had a great influence on people - and thus influencing as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be traced to their dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed below: 1657_____Boston Measles 1687_____Boston Measles 1690_____New York Yellow Fever 1713_____Boston Measles 1729_____Boston Measles 1732-3___Worldwide Influenza 1738_____South Carolina Smallpox 1739-40__Boston Measles 1747_____CT,NY,PA,SC Measles 1759_____N.
