Download or read book The Psychology of Family History written by Susan Moore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book examines the motives that drive family historians and explores whether those who research their ancestral pedigrees have distinct personalities, demographics or family characteristics. It describes genealogists’ experiences as they chart their family trees including their insights, dilemmas and the fascinating, sometimes disturbing and often surprising, outcomes of their searches. Drawing on theory and research from psychology and other humanities disciplines, as well as from the authors’ extensive survey data collected from over 800 amateur genealogists, the authors present the experiences of family historians, including personal insights, relationship changes, mental health benefits and ethical dilemmas. The book emphasises the motivation behind this exploration, including the need to acknowledge and tell ancestral stories, the spiritual and health-related aspects of genealogical research, the addictiveness of the detective work, the lifelong learning opportunities and the passionate desire to find lost relatives. With its focus on the role of family history in shaping personal identity and contemporary culture, this is fascinating reading for anyone studying genealogy and family history, professional genealogists and those researching their own history.

This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of John Valentine Kratz, and a Complete Genealogical Family Register: With Biographies of His Descendants From the Earliest Available Records to the Present Time Genealogies are profitable, inasmuch as they are of great interest to all descendants, and become more and more so to future generations in tracing back their lineage. There is a growing feeling in many families in this respect, and family pride is increasing with a desire to know more of one's ancestors. In this our second attempt to prepare a family genealogy, it has been our aim and purpose to make it as correct, accurate, and complete as possible. However, in some respects the work is incomplete owing to the failure of a very few of the connections to respond to inquiries for information and data. The design of this genealogy is to perpetuate the memory of our worthy ancestor, John Valentine Kratz, and to gather in one volume the names of his many descendants.

Download or read book The Treat Family written by John Harvey Treat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treat Family: A Genealogy of Trott, Tratt, and Treat for Fifteen Generations, and Four Hundred and Fifty Years in England and America; Containing More Than Fifteen Hundred Families in America After ten years of constant labor, the Genealogy of the Treat family has been completed and published. It was a work of love on my part, and has required not only much time, but quite a sum of money has been expended, for which no remuneration is asked. It was intended at first to publish the Genealogy in octavo form, but it was found that this would result in a large book of about one thousand pages, and it could not be bound in two volumes without dividing a family: so by increasing the size to a royal octavo. And using smaller type in the family records and notes, the number of pages has been much reduced without omitting anything. The number of copies was limited to four hundred, and the price placed at the bare cost of publishing, yet scarce two hundred copies have been subscribed for. Some who were very anxious to have a family history, and made great promises, did nothing or next to nothing, not even subscribing for a book; many willingly furnished records, but did not subscribe; others who would not even notice my letters of inquiry, did subscribe for a book. To such as assisted me my warmest thanks are due, and I have no hard feelings towards those who neglected to aid me. The loss, if there be any, is theirs, not mine. When my attention was first directed to the subject of genealogy, my purpose was to trace out my own line of' descent, and nothing more. Becoming interested, I determined to hunt up all the descendants, male and female, of the Rev. Samuel Treat, of Eastham, Mass., the oldest son of Gov. Robert Treat of Conn., from whom I am descended. To that end a considerable collection was made, and some autographs obtained, which are here printed. At length it was thought best to publish a complete record of the entire Treat family. The record will be found to be very full. No pains have been spared to make the work a complete One. Places of interest have been personally visited. Records of all kinds - town, church, and probate - have been carefully searched, and the old bury ing grounds have been examined.
