1. Begin your genealogy research by collecting information about yourself and working backwards generation by generation to find information about ancestors. Key information to collect includes full names, dates and locations of birth, marriage, death.
2. To fill in gaps, use additional sources like family bibles, records, stories, photos. Organize research using charts, files, and logging sources. Document sources completely.
3. Resources for further research include vital records, census records, military records held in archives and online. Libraries provide reference materials and local histories. Share findings with family and genealogical societies. Genealogy research is ongoing as more ancestors are discovered.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Searching your family history
1. Searching Your Family
History
Brought to you by the Staff of the
Medina County District Library
2. Cardinal Rules of Genealogy Research
1. Begin collecting information with the known,
yourself, and work backward one generation at a time
towards the unknown, your ancestors. Don’t skip to a
famous person and try to make him/her fit into your
history
Must have at least this much information on each
individual:
Full name including women’s maiden names
Date and place of birth
Date and place of marriages & divorces
Date and place of death & burial
List of siblings and children
3. But if that is all you have in your family history, it will be
very boring. Use these types of sources to start filling in the
gaps and make your family history come alive!
Adoption Records Family Bibles Naturalization Papers
Baby Announcements Family Business Papers Newspaper Clippings
Baby Books Family Stories Obituaries
Bank Books Family letters Oral Histories
Baptism Records Family pictures Photo Albums
Birth Certificates Funeral Guest Books Property Tax Receipt
Citizenship Papers Graduation Records Report Cards
Confirmation Record Heirloom jewelry Resumes
Death Announcements Immunization Records School Records
Death Certificates Income Tax Forms Scrapbooks
Diaries & Journals Insurance Records Social Security Cards
Diplomas Land Records Wedding Albums
Discharge Papers Marriage Records Wedding Guestbook
Divorce Papers Military Awards Wills&Estate Records
Employment Records Mother’s Certificates Yearbooks
4. 2. Read books on “how-to” do genealogy. The library has
many fine books that explain the process of researching
your family history. Learn from other’s experience and
don’t make unnecessary mistakes.
Take genealogy classes either from the library or the
local genealogical society.
5. 3. Collect family stories and personal testimonies
These should be verified in other sources. Talk to all of
your relatives, particularly the older ones, and collect
family stories and information from them.
Topics to ask about:
-Full Name -Birthdate & place -Hometown
-Parents -Marriage -Historic Events
-Siblings -Children -Family Traditions
-Childhood home -Politics -Sports
-Family relations -Military
- Hobbies -Friends
-Family Income -Schools
-Seasons & Special Occasions -Games
-Religion -Career
AND…
Be sure to ask if anyone else has ever worked
on the family history!

6. 4. Organize your research and keep it organized!!
Use Ancestor Charts and Family Groups Sheets to organize your information.
These charts are available free online:
http://c.ancestry.com/pdf/trees/charts/anchart.pdf
http://c.ancestry.com/pdf/trees/charts/famgrec.pdf
Choose a filing system and/or computer program to contain your research.
Use a log to track your research. Who have you requested information from??
Have they replied??
http://c.ancestry.com/pdf/trees/charts/correc.pdf
Make back up copies of all records and computer files and store some copies away
from your home (safety deposit box, someone else’s home.)
Protect irreplaceable documents in a secure location. NEVER take original
documents on trips to do research.
7. 5. Use a set format for recording your information
Capitalize surnames, it makes them easier to read. I.E. John SMITH
Dates; month, day, year. i.e. January 1, 1989. The month should be
spelled out or use a three letter abbreviation to avoid confusion. Do not
use a number for the month. Use four digits for the year since you will be
researching different centuries.
Places should go from the smallest, most local to the larger, i.e. City,
County, State, Country. i.e. Lodi, Harrisville Township, Medina County,
Ohio, USA.
If you use any abbreviations, be sure to supply a key to what the
abbreviations mean. Don’t assume everyone uses the same
abbreviations.
8. 6.Completely document the source of your information.
When gathering information from relatives, be sure to record the date and location of
the interview and the full name and relationship to you of the person.
When using an Internet source, cite the full name of the resource, and the date and
how accessed.
For government records, list location (city, county, state) and volume number and
page and the date found.
When using books, list the full title, author, copyright date, page number and where
the book was located (ex. Delaware County District Library Local History room.)
Put citations on your sources. For an explanation of this process you can read two
resources:
“Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian”
“Evidence Explained, citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace”
Your goal is to make it possible for someone else to retrace the steps in your
research.
9. 7.Use these resources to further your research
Vital records, birth, death and marriage records, are generally held at county or
parish court houses and state departments of vital statistics. Handybook for
Genealogist and Ancestry’s Redbook list where vital records can be found
anywhere in the world. www.vitalrec.com is an online resource.
Census records for the U.S. are held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
HeritageQuest.com and Ancestry.com (and the library version
AncestryLibraryEdition) all provide access to the Federal census records.
U.S. military records are held either at the National Archives
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/military/ or theNational Military Personnel
Records Center (NPRC), in St. Louis, Missouri
Libraries are good sources of information on general history, genealogy
processes, state and national indexes, and local or county histories.
Internet sources, like the ones mentioned above, as well as the GenWeb network
of sites can help further your research.
All of these sources, and more, are covered in any good
genealogy “how-to” book!
10. 8.Share your research and your questions
Produce copies of your research and share with interested family members.
Make a copy for the libraries and genealogical societies in the counties and states
where your ancestors resided.
Share your research online with others interested in the same names and locations as
you are, via mailing lists on Rootsweb.com and familysearch.com (Do not share
information on living persons. Not everyone is as honest as you are!!)
11. 9.Remember: You are NEVER “finished” with your family
history. For every new person you find, there are at
least two more people you must find, the parents!
Genealogy starts as a hobby, becomes an
addiction and turns into a disease.
