Automatic Extraction From and Reasoning About Genealogical Records: A Prototype

Woodbury, Charla Jean 29 June 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Family history research on the web is increasing in popularity, and many competing genealogical websites host large amounts of data-rich, unstructured, primary genealogical records. It is labor-intensive, however, even after making these records machine-readable, for humans to make these records easily searchable. What we need are computer tools that can automatically produce indices and databases from these genealogical records and can automatically identify individuals and events, determine relationships, and put families together. We propose here a possible solution—specialized ontologies, built specifically for extracting information from primary genealogical records, with expert logic and rules to infer genealogical facts and assemble relationship links between persons with respect to the genealogical events in their lives. The deliverables of this solution are extraction ontologies that can extract from parish or town records, annotated versions of original documents, data files of individuals and events, and rules to infer family relationships from stored data. The solution also provides for the ability to query over the rules and data files and to obtain query-result justification linking back to primary genealogical records. An evaluation of the prototype solution shows that the extraction has excellent recall and precision results and that inferred facts are correct.

The Tornado Tree: Drawing on Stories and Storybooks

Wood, Toni A. 13 December 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Storytelling has been used by many cultures to record events, research genealogy, and to teach moral lessons. Some cultures passed on their histories and important events through oral narration, papyrus, or cathedral stained glass windows. More modern cultures write personal histories, and use modern technology to communicate with each other. This study is an arts based project based on writing a storybook. It is an exploration of why storytelling is important from a cultural point of view using my experiences to write a storybook based on a true event from my family history.

Learning from e-family history : online research behaviour and strategies of family historians and implications for local studies collections

Friday, Kate January 2012 (has links)
The massive expansion of electronic resources has been identified as one of the major drivers behind the ‘explosion’ in the popularity of family history, which bring ease, convenience and accessibility to some parts of the research process. Amongst this expanse of easily-accessible raw materials, online local studies materials (recording both historical and contemporary aspects of a community) can add real context and value to researchers’ findings and experience; turning a genealogy into a family history. However, the vast majority of these do not appear visible to online family history researchers. Through three central foci (users, e-family history resources, and Local Studies Collections), this research investigates these resources and collections from the perspective of users, to establish how to make the added value of the local studies collections more visible and encourage increased engagement for those who cannot visit collections in person. Specific evaluative criteria for e-family history resources are presented, contributing to practitioners’ awareness and understanding of their nature; in turn helping maintain their service quality to researchers. Using a hybrid (primarily ethnographic) research approach, the study also examines the online research behaviour of family historians, identifying a taxonomy of actions (seeking of genealogical facts, local or social history; communicating with other researchers or resources; locating resources or instructive information; managing own information), strategies (search modifications and incorporation of background knowledge) and outcomes (outcome; direction (projected and actual)). From these categories, a model of Family Historians’ online information seeking has been developed. Researchers have both informational and affective needs, and are highly emotionally attached to the research process. Users universally used Ancestry, FamilySearch, ScotlandsPeople, and Genes Reunited far more than other sites, seeking out quality informational content and unique records, which must be successful for researchers. Google was a major method of access to these. Very few participants were preaware of ‘e-local studies’ websites, and were surprised by the variations in quality, inconsistencies in terminology and navigation, and invisibility of quality content. Despite a lack of ease of use, the content present on e-local studies sites and their usefulness and value had been demonstrated to researchers. This suggests significant demand for local information of this kind online where it is available and made known.

台東縣大武鄉南興村Pasasuwan家族史

張曉玲, Chang, Hsiao-Ling Unknown Date (has links)
本論文乃筆者之家族史紀錄,藉由深入訪談與文獻資料蒐集,試圖將Pasasuwan家族的歷史完整呈現。   章節安排上,首先緒論主要說明研究動機,研究方法,介紹研究地點Kalapit(甘那壁)與Rutjagas(南興),以及相關文獻的回顧。   第一章討論Pasasuwan家族與排灣族的關係,由「排灣」一詞、家名、神話傳說等為主題,觀察本家族對排灣族的概念,是否因為環境、血緣而有所獨特之處。   第二章陳述Pasasuwan家族的遷移史,第二代掌家者Laalan擔任部落Qziqeziben(頭目代言人),特別由Kalapit到Rutjagas的遷移,本家族為第一批遷入者。本家族的遷移主要有三次,第一次由屏東草埔遷到東部的Kalapit,第二次由Kalapit遷移至舊Rutjagas,最後一次為區域內的遷移,遷至距舊Rutjgas幾百公尺的地點,也就是現在Rutjagas的位置。 第三章為日治前到日治後的家族情況,時間1850到1950年之間,本家族從東部的發展開始,Laalan受封為Qziqeziben,協助Mamazailan各項工作,讓家族在這個時期,有著很活躍的發展。 第四章從國民政府領台初期至1992年之前,日本戰敗離開台灣,家族短暫的在Muangen時期適應新朝代,直到Puraruayn接掌家務,重新帶動家族的氣勢。 第五章除了陳述Puraruyan1992年過世之後的發展,亦針對宗教、家族與部落內外的族群關係,做為主題,深入探討。 最後則為本篇論文的結論。
