I've concluded one thing, the Percy Family that gives us the current Duke of the Northumberlands rule the world. They not only give us the Alnwick Castle (which if you're a Harry Potter Fan was Hogwarts in the first film) and Pippa Middleton's boyfriend, they give us the Queen Elizabeth II of England, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margarethe II of Denmark, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, King Harald V of Norway, and King Albert II of Belgium, among others. :) See Percy's rule the world!genegirl99http://www.blogger.com/profile/15354944704444406501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767714718362284966.post-12174640125438247962011-11-03T13:20:00.001-07:002011-11-03T13:20:43.320-07:00You know what...You know what's fun about plugging in Royal Genealogies?

Royals, Royals<div>How Many Names do YOU have in your Family Tree Maker File?</div>I'd really like to thank cousin Lucy Cuthbert (current Duke of Northumberland's niece) for marrying into the Saudi Royal Family, it helped me add 200 names to my family tree. I'm trying to add as many royal, princely, and noble families into my Family Tree Maker File. I'm done with the Belgians and have 75-90% of the other royal houses done. I now have 30,000 names in my family tree.<div>
<br /></div><div>Yes, I continue to do work on my lines (mainly the Breese's) but after a while you come to a brick wall and you need to take a break...and wait for more information to get digitized. So I've been adding royals and famous people to the family tree. It's been a fun experience.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Things I've Learned:</div><div>There's plenty of Uncle-Niece Marriages between families. (EWWW!)</div><div>You can see the progression of countries.</div><div>You can end an empire through the marriage bed. (hmmm, I can see why the Byzantine Empire fell)</div><div>All Royal, Princely, Ducal, and Noble families are related some way.</div><div>

that it is VERY IMPERITIVE that you cite your sources to prevent plagiarism.<span style=""> </span>I prefer Chicago Style and used Chicago Style when I wrote my Hoffman Book, and it’s really difficult for me to go back to APA or MLA.<span style=""> </span>We should bring that concept into Genealogy as well and cite everything we possibly can.<span style=""> </span>It prevents us from making

style=""> </span>For example for Edward Reinhold he put “son’s death certificate.”<span style=""> </span>That is all, his sources are either “daughter’s marriage certificate,” or “Son’s obituary.”<span style=""> </span>It literally drove me up the wall.<span style=""> </span>He’s redoing his genealogy too to make it neater (vs. me who wants every little thing I can possibly get), and he’s citing his sources the same way.<span style=""> </span>For me, I cite dates and not names usually where I get my dates I can get names!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;

a genealogy curriculum for schools.<span style=""> </span>I made my own family group sheets, individual cards, pedigree charts and for schools I made an individual worksheet with a few questions for the students to work on.<span style=""> </span>My intent was as the children go through school they build on their genealogies and learn how to research for future science projects, English papers, and social studies projects.<span style=""> </span>Now let the brainstorming begin!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Getting kids into genealogy is hard and going to take time, so you might want to start the process before they are even born!<span style=""> </span>If you have old family photos or pictures, especially those that have grandparents, great-great parents and beyond, I would have a family photo wall in your house!<span style=""> </span>My cousin Keith has a wall like this, with copies of old family photos and people ask about it and he tells them that the people in the photos are grandparents, aunts, and uncles and the like.<span style=""> </span>Having this wall gets the kids familiar with their ancestors from the time their babies.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;

Eve.<span style=""> </span>Start small.<span style=""> </span>Start with yourself, your siblings, and your grandparents.<span style=""> </span>If your child does something that reminds of you of a story tell your child the story.<span style=""> </span>If you have family time, use that time to share stories about the family or share stories at bedtime.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"

take individual ancestors’ or relative’s pictures put them into paint or any photo program and type their names-print off.<span style=""> </span>Get a poster board and draw a tree (similar to a pedigree chart) on it.<span style=""> </span>Put Velcro on the individual pictures and the poster board.<span style=""> </span>During story time, bring out the board and have the child put the photo on the poster and talk about the individual, tell stories or memories about that particular person.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height:

might be able to show the kids inside the house where their grandpa grew up in, be sure to ask.<span style=""> </span>You can also take them to the cemetery (be sure to teach them proper cemetery etiquette) and show them where their ancestors are buried.<span style=""> </span>Be sure to bring paper and crayons, so they can make etchings of the headstones.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"

work on getting some sort of genealogy packet together to bring into the schools.<span style=""> </span>I was a history major in college and doing genealogy while working towards that goal made

</span>Uncle Charles Cutter was an engineer on Underground Railroad.<span style=""> </span>There were only two Cutters from Pelham, New Hampshire who fought in the American Revolution.<span style="">

further and teach children research skills that they can take into college and have their own genealogies!<span style=""> </span>Now this is a rough outline of what I had in mind, but I hope there are some good ideas in it.<span style=""> </span>My intent is that when they start, students will have a folder that they will keep throughout their school career and that by the time they enter high

This is my question...<br /><br />Would you write out Chicago, Cook, IL or Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois? I prefer the first way because it looks neater and eventually saves space in the final report. If I don't have any information beyond city I usually write the state out with the county I know. <br /><br />Just wanted to know everyone's opinion.genegirl99http://www.blogger.com/profile/15354944704444406501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767714718362284966.post-55110775291799783682011-04-19T17:10:00.001-07:002011-04-19T17:10:38.076-07:00Genea-Trips<p
