Rooters:

There seems to be much interest in this "Spanish flu." Other sites for
background are listed below.

Early in the 20th Century an influenza epidemic was an event that was to
kill possibly 40 million people is finally being intensely researched today.

Now believed to be one of the most significant impacts on WWI and most
certainly upon current genealogical research.

1) The door opener article on the Spanish Flu by Gina Kolata:

This worldwide epidemic is now considered to be as significant as the
plague which struck Europe several hundred years earlier.
