Researching the Transatlantic Slave TradeMichael Hait
This document discusses researching one's African roots through DNA testing. It provides a brief timeline of the transatlantic slave trade from 1619 to 1865. While slave voyage records are incomplete, DNA testing can determine paternal and maternal lineages. The document recommends AfricanAncestry.com, which has databases for DNA comparisons and tracing African tribes. Recent DNA tests on the sons of Martin Luther King Jr. and Marcus Garvey found their paternal lines linked to Europe but maternal lines tracing back to Africa.
The document provides guidance on researching Hispanic ancestry through U.S. records by starting with family interviews, pedigree charts, and sources within the home, then discusses common countries of origin, immigration trends, and recommended genealogical databases and record types to explore such as census, vital, military, and naturalization documents before searching records in countries of origin. Naturalization records, Spanish naming conventions, and the history of Spanish colonization in the Americas are also overviewed.
This document outlines a case of plagiarism in genealogy writing. It describes how an article titled "Top Ten Rules of Genealogy" written by Michael Hait in 2007 was plagiarized without permission in blog posts on Barry's Blog in late 2012. Direct text comparisons are provided between the original 2007 article and the 2012 blog posts to prove the plagiarism.

Everything librarians need to know to help genealogists but were afraid to askNicole Wedemeyer Miller
This presentation provides librarians with an overview of how to help genealogists in their research. It discusses that genealogists can be intimidating for librarians due to the open-ended nature of their questions. However, the presentation provides tips for librarians to gain a basic understanding of genealogical sources and processes. It also offers guidance on how to structure reference interviews to best assist genealogists and identify the resources needed to answer their questions. Finally, the presentation provides ideas for programming that libraries can offer to attract and instruct genealogists in using available research materials and tools.
The presenter discusses the FamilySearch Wiki, which allows community contributors to share genealogical research tips and information. He highlights two specific wiki projects - one on U.S. Census records and another on American Indian tribes. These projects consolidate fragmented research guidance and record locations into centralized wiki pages. Contributors found that compiling this information in the wiki makes it much easier for others to conduct research without having to search multiple sources. The presenter encourages participants to volunteer their expertise by contributing to relevant wiki pages.
This document discusses the history and current state of interracial relationships and biracial children in the United States. It covers the banning of interracial marriage through the 19th century, landmark legal cases such as Loving v.

It involves researching records like birth, marriage, death, census, military, and church records to trace family lineages back through generations. There are many reasons to research a family tree, such as remembering the past, passing on knowledge to future generations, reconnecting with family, and discovering roots. Good places to start include talking to family members, checking family bibles for recorded events, and examining various types of records. Resources for genealogical research include libraries, archives, churches, courthouses, online databases, and genealogy websites.

Developing A Final Draft Of A Research Paper ENGL 1Kelley Hunter

2. Iterative testing and refining of models helps improve the design and uncover potential problems before implementation.
3. Modelling complex systems breaks them down into simpler components that are easier to analyze for risks and errors.
The modelling process helps manage risks by allowing experiments and "what if" scenarios to be tested inexpensively before real-world deployment.

Writing A Research Based Informative Essay About LMandy Love
The document discusses factors that contributed to the lack of success of Italian nationalism between 1815 and 1848. The key factors were:
1) Austrian rule over Italian states was repressive, banning the Italian language from public life.
2) Italians lacked a strong sense of national identity while being divided among different states and dialects.
3) Nationalist movements were divided among themselves in their goals and approaches.
4) The Catholic Church opposed Italian nationalism and any moves towards a unified Italian state. This division among nationalists and opposition from the Church hampered their success against Austrian domination.
