Download or read book Tracing Your Baltic Scandinavian Eastern European Middle Eastern Ancestry Online written by Anne Hart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06-06 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you online and ready for global smart card and database genealogy for virtual travelers? Here's how to search family history for nations bordering the Baltic Sea, the Balkans countries, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. The nations listed in this guide (all faiths) include Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Armenia, Assyria, Greece, Lebanon, Syria, and many other lands in the Middle East, the Balkans-Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Eastern Europe-Hungary, and more. Collecting details about people is moving toward smart card technology and its offspring. The new wave in genealogy is authentication technology. Authentication begins with new-wave technology used to gather population registers. Compare the new technology to the old method of door-to-door census taking, tombstone tracings, and city directory publishing. No, genealogists are not using smart cards this year, but smart card technology is being used to compile population registers in Europe. The future holds a new wave of technology used for authentication for banking transactions being applied to other areas. Currently this technology is used for collecting details for population registrars such as census taking. The application for research is of interest to family historians, librarians, and governments. It's already in use by private industry for electronic authentication. Family history is now about intelligent connections, whether it's a population registrar, census detail, or electronic identity for banking. Smart card genealogy began in 1998 in Finland with governments seeking to put census and population registers in an electronic form that would be available to researchers, and these applications are going global.

Download or read book Houghton Ancestors written by Timothy Guss and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, the highest concentration of people with the surname Houghton is found in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States. By state, the largest percentile of those with the surname Houghton lives in Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Utah. This story is not just that of my Houghtons, but it is an epic story of men and women throughout history. History certainly transcends the actions of a few men and women but is often best studied by closely examining the lives of a small number of people. Early historians concentrated on the lives of just the rich and powerful. By the 19th and 20th centuries, historians documented the average person in society. The author has tried to write in a readable style and relate stories that The author found interesting from all aspects of society, including family, religion, social groups, military, political, economic, and scientific. As The author stated in my opening remarks, The author hope that documenting a small part of the Houghton legacy, it will serve as a building block for others who research this topic in even more detail and look at the history of their own families. I'm sure you will find that their true-life stories are also remarkable and inspiring. The author also trust that The author have captured some of the achievements, hopes, dreams, lives, and even sorrow and anguish of our forefathers so that they will not be forgotten by future generations.

Download or read book 102 Ways to Apply Career Training in Family History Genealogy written by Anne Hart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-09-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are 102+ ways to use training in family history and genealogy when applied to real-world careers in education, business, or government, including creative entrepreneurial start-ups. With the future marriage of genealogy to smart cards, online databases, or similar authentication technology for family history, population registration (census), and library research, it may be easier to research family lines, not only by DNA matches through DNA testing for deep ancestry, but also with smart, electronic cards designed for electronic identity. It's also a way to track military records as another way to trace family history. Careers and research may focus on various state libraries or historical associations. History and family studies are part of an interdisciplinary liberal arts program that emphasizes research and writing. Journalism courses help round out your ability to express in plain language the results of your reading, explorations, and interpretations. Obtaining a degree or even taking one course or self-study in Family, Public, or Social History can lead to broad, interdisciplinary careers. Graduate work in library science, law, journalism, public history, or genetics counseling (with a double major in the life sciences and social work) also lead to careers in which an historical education may be used.

Download or read book How to Open Dna Driven Genealogy Reporting Interpreting Businesses written by Anne Hart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-04-02 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here's how to open your own online DNA-driven genealogy reporting/interpreting service business. You wouldn't do the actual DNA testing. The laboratory you contract with does the testing and sends you reports that you interpret for your clients. As a DNA-driven genealogist, you would prepare illustrated and text-driven reports, colorful CDs, brochures, press kits, covers, Web sites, and guides to interpreting the DNA-for-ancestry-based information. You would interpret tests for deep ancestry to your clients. What verbal skills and any other preparation would you need to empower consumers with knowledge from reports you receive from your partnering DNA-testing laboratory? Would you also interpret reports from genetics counselors testing for predisposition to diseases? Or emphasize only deep ancestry? Would you need a self-taught science background, a genealogy hobby, or only marketing and communications experience? Who does the actual interpreting? How would you contract with DNA laboratories to send reports and other information related to ancestry? You may be a genealogist, a personal historian, or a life story videographer thinking of partnering with a DNA-testing laboratory. Your business would be to make complex information easy to understand and interpret in plain language DNA reports from scientists to genealogy clients and surname groups. The DNA tests could be for ancestry and/or nutritional genomics issues.
