1. [APG] Personal History vs. Genealogy [1]
To me, and many others, the words genealogy and family history are interchangeable. I have never cared about blood lines - that's for horses. I think limiting what words mean can lead to misunderstanding. I'd like to see more of us use the words interchangeably and explain to everyone that we mean much, much more than direct blood lines (or names, dates, places). As Marsha says it includes historical content and MUCH more. I think the "modern" approach to genealogy/family history is much more interesting.
2. Re: [APG] Not semantics: A primary source? [1]
We probably shouldn't consider coming to grips with the meaning behind the terms original vs. derivative; and primary vs. secondary vs. tertiary, an exercise in semantics. Elizabeth S. Mills makes several good points about the importance of critically evaluating documents and the information held within those documents. I had a few extra minutes to elaborate with some examples and hope they are helpful. I suppose that a whole book could be written on this topic. **** Definitions. A Starting Poin

4. [APG] Re: 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica [1]
I have had a set of the 11th Edition for over 40 years, and it is still among my most used references. I'm glad to learn it's now on line. The bookseller who sold me my set (at a price that was a steal) recommended it as "the last scholarly edition," and experience has confirmed his description--but he also warned against falling into the trap of thinking scholarship has gone no further.

5. RE: [APG] BLM [1]
As I understand it the issue does not have to do with September 11th but with hackers getting into the data base and stealing millions of dollars. New York TImes had an article earlier this week about it.

9. Re: [APG] PayPal [1]
Be wary of paypal. Read: http://www.paypalwarning.com/ It is probably ok for occasional payments. However above all, don't leave money in it and be careful about large payments. As it says on the site: Your Paypal account can be frozen at any time, without advance notice leaving you without your money for weeks (if not forever), and there isn't much you can do about it. Paypal is currently being investigated by regulatory authorities in four states! -B -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/

I think Broderbund makes god-awful "Genealogy" products anyway and they never had my business in the first place. The FTM CDs have done a great deal to hurt serious genealogy. Users just keep buying them even though they are just basically worthless, completely unsourced third-hand information. Anyway, i say buy a mac and use Reunion, the best Genealogy app there is. :) (if you must use a few PC-Genealogy
12. [APG] Data Base [1]
I now have the dubious honor of working as genealogist for Clan Mackenzie, USA. I will be forming a large data base of Mackenzie ancestors and am not sure how to go about it! Do any of you have suggestions? Some of the families will overlap, but many won't, which further complicates the problem. Could I use my Legacy program or would this be too cumbersome? Jeanne Stump
13. [APG] 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica [1]
Hi, This was in my weekly Earthlink newsletter. We genealogists might be more interested in the 1911 version rather than the current version.

14. RE: [APG] Personal History vs. Genealogy [1]
I am always slightly bemused by someone who insists the genealogy is nothing but blood lines, and wonder how that person goes about proving the line. All we have are paper documents attesting to some events. Only the mother knew if the paternity was clear. Might we surmise that from time to time "clear" was not as absolute as future generations might wish/think? ____________________________ brian.mavrogeorge@autodesk.com Project Manager, GIS 111 McInnis Parkway San Rafael, California 94903 415-507-8367 -

17. RE: [APG] BLM [1]
It is still tied up in the larger issue of unauthorized access to the Department of the Interior's computer system and the application that processes payments on Indian claims. Just as recently as last week I read in the SF Chronicle that the judge In the case had hired a special consultant to test the improvements and he had been successful in breaking into the computer system and establishing fake payment accounts. My guess would be that access to BLM records is quite a while away. ___________________

19. Re: [APG] cluster, reconstruction, etc. [1]
I have been following Ken's reports on his discussion group. I read the NGS Newsmagazine article, "Teaching Analysis, Logic, ..." NOV/DEC 2000, pp. 340-343, which prompted Ken's discussion group, when it first appeared. I tried, without success, to get such a group started near my home. I also read the articles specified in the original Newsmagazine article. I have been reading the articles again, as Ken has used them. And now this discussion of *terms*. As I have been following all of this, it seems
20. [APG] clusters, etc. [1]
To throw another phrase/concept into the ring... Another phrase I have heard used and that I have used myself is "chain migration." This too, in the way that I use it, boils down to searching the neighbors. One can view any "migrator" as a "link in a chain" that brought him to that area. What usually connects the links in a chain are familial or neighborly relationships. I really began using this term when searching for various "German" ancestors of my children. My maternal ancestors are from several

Marsha wrote: << Family history should include sources, historical context, good narrative, etc. How does "personal history" get into the equation? >> Without having looked into the matter in any detail, I had assumed, just from the terminology, that "personal history" was concerned with one person, studying his or her place in history and biological or legal relationships to others, while "family history" does the same for all the connected people--both subject, of course, to Marsha's caveat that
22. RE: [APG] Have article - where to publish? [1]
What you might do first is check what the requirements are for the publications you are considering and the focus of that publication. What is unique about this family? Or unique about your approach? Or unique about the problems you were trying to solve? How thorough was your research? A national or "journal" publication will probably want "uniqueness" of some sort, solid research, and something that would interest a wide audience. From what you have said my opinion is that you would be more successful ch

24. Re: [APG] Caution in posting genealogy online, how do I get them out of search engins? [1]
Joyce, while I make it a practice not to include info on living persons in the data at my web page, I have a question: Did the data on your relative include a current address? If not, unless the name was quite unusual there is practically no way someone could link the data at your site to a specific person. Even then, the perpetrator would have to have more information, such as a SS number. Also, I guess I don't understand the scam. Your relative's bank account wasn't involved, right? Is it possible for
