The Psychology of Family History by Susan Moore,Doreen Rosenthal,Rebecca Robinson Pdf

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.

Genealogy by Mae Wood Pdf

Inspired by real, hundred-year-old love letters. My great-grandmother's name is bold across the cream envelope, now golden at the seams with age. I can't remember the last time I’ve seen graceful, purposeful handwriting with a fountain pen and not the hasty scrawl of ballpoint. Alice Hirshhorn, Astoria Hotel, Seattle Washington. “Letters to Great-grandma Alice,” I say with wonder, tracing my fingers over the faded postmark and foreign stamps. December 1915. Philippine Islands. I turn the thick envelope in my palm, slide out the tightly folded pages, and unfold the thin paper, taking care not to tear the letters that were important enough to keep for a century. My dearest Alice “Great-grandpa was in the Philippines?” I ask. “Oh no. Not your great-grandfather,” answers Grammie, her eyes twinkling with her mother’s secrets. “Elliott.” ​~~~ At thirty-three and with her future unclear, Ali Waller finds her way home again. A box of long-forgotten love letters written to her great-grandmother holds the unlikely key to Ali finding her new path. As she tracks down the letter writer and his descendants, Ali learns the magic of love, hope, and resilience. Told by three characters, and across century and an ocean, Genealogy is an enchanting story about love and loss, taking chances, and embracing the surprises that life brings. A twelve question discussion guide is included, making Genealogy a perfect choice for your book club or a buddy read.

Galactic Genealogy Planetary Origins by Anonim Pdf

This book includes full-color illustration, personality traits and descriptions of the genealogy races, it is the companion book to a Galactic Genealogy Chart, also included in the book. The Chart and booklet are designed to help you find out what your Galactic Genealogy origins are. I have listed them in alphabetical order. Since photographs are not taking of the Extraterrestrials, both the drawings from the experiencer's and the other illustrations are meant to be an example of the different races and beings that are in our Universe. Some of them have the ability to appear in your mind and memory as whatever they want, and this induced "image" has nothing to do with their real appearance. They may have you see and remember them as a human celebrity or family member. A ball of light, a gray, a dwarf or even animals such as deer, owl, dog, monkey, because they want you to remember that. Most of the time they may want you to completely forget anything about you're experience with them, so you think it's just a dream. So, we can never be sure that they really look the way we see them. I was asked in by my galactic family, in downloads and channeling to put this information together with full-color illustrations, descriptions of our family and special traits about ourselves. The illustrations and info have been accumulated from many people and sources. Dare to find out what you Galactic Genealogy is!
