The way in which the ‘family’ unit is perceived has changed immensely since the last quarter of the twentieth century. Over time, many factors have contributed to these changes including, and not limited to, the industrial revolution, the feminist movement, the period of modernity and technological advancements. As a result, these factors have influenced significant changes to the ‘family’, these include; the increasing rates of female occupation, mean age at marriage, divorce, unmarried couples, single parents, mean age at birth of first child, and a decline in marriage rates. Moreover, this essay will examine how the family has changed over time through discussing the factors that have contributed to these changes. It is for these reasons and observations made by sociologists that it could be inferred that the way the family unit is perceived has changed greatly over time.

History is defined as the study of the science of humanity in the past. It's a broad subject that spans over countless people groups throughout the years that the world has been around. Even before the times we have written word history was still being made, and it is still extremely important. We tend to forget that in our average day to day lives we are still making history. That all over the globe everyone is taking part in what might be in a history book someday.

My family history has influenced who I am today due to the fact that I have descended from a long line of artistic people. On my mother’s side, there have been many who have worked with painting, music, drawing, dancing, and even film production. From day one in school I have loved the arts and have found that it is my passion. Both my parents have been highly supportive of wanted to continue my love of dance during and after college and also with pursuing it as a career. Not only that, but I have lived in Pittsboro, North Carolina all my life and stayed within the school systems in the county moving from elementary, to middle, to now high school. I have been very fortunate to have gone to schools that are highly oriented with the arts. Starting in elementary school with playing the recorder, I moved up to play the flute in sixth

The smell of old books in the stuffy back room of the library was overwhelming, but also quite comforting. It reminded me of a much simpler time. This caused me to briefly stop and reminisce about my childhood. But enough of that, I am here on a mission, I am researching old newspaper articles to get information for a genealogy project. I never thought that there would be a time that I would willingly research and write this much once I was out of school, yet here I sit, sorting through decades of information and taking pages of notes.

The idea behind Hunt Club Subs n’ Grill is not a new one, it’s an idea that started with traditions that have been passed down from one generation to another throughout the years. Family, conservation and heritage.

Who is your audience? My audience would be people who are interested in doing genealogy for my family.

To begin with, I was talking to my family about my project did not go so well. I tried talking to my dad. He said he did not know anything so he did not help very well. Then I tried talking to my mom. She barely knew anything. I talked to my sister she said that our great great grandpa, our great grandpa, and our grandpa were at least in civil war one on or civil war two. I went to internet sites and tried finding my parents and grandparents yeah did not work but I kept trying till I could find them I did not find them but I got a lot of information about my grandparents and my mom and dad. So that sort of helped me in a way.

Our family genealogist had made a common mistake, one that many people make and have to acknowledge at a later date. With the availability of computer records, he had gone directly to the computer for the fastest, and what he thought to be the easiest methods of building a family tree. Our genealogist found out that that is not always true. Amateur genealogists skip over some of the best methods for gathering evidence. Genealogy is a field in which older is better and leg work is important. Begin with what you already know and then search in your community. Spread out from there. Don't be shy about asking questions and keeping meticulous notes on the answers. The smallest detail may become the clue to unraveling a mystery later on. Genealogists should talk to as many older family members as possible. Unlike immediate family members, the older generation is usually harboring an abundance of knowledge concerning past generations. Begin by engaging them in conversations about their youth, their family, social issues and norms before asking questions. Always listen attentively for important clues as they may drop valuable information to you that seems relatively unimportant to them. Use resources like the old photos, Bibles, attic trunks and other family heirlooms hidden in the attic or basement; they can contain important information concerning family. Only after scouring hardcopies of one's personal resources, and after making meticulous notes and charts, should one branch out. Computers are a great tool for genealogical research, but they should be used in conjunction with other resources. Our genealogist found that had he been more aggressive in his community search and asked more questions, he may have found answers sooner. While it is recommended that one begin with a single surname, family or individual; don't be afraid to branch out. Branching out to the siblings of his 2nd great grandfather's siblings may have yielded the clues

Tracing back, and learning about, the history of your family is a worthwhile thing for anyone to spend some time doing. If this is something that interests you, then there are lots of places that you can find information about your ancestors, with local archives and personal records being good examples. Another prime source of information are gravestone memorials, which can reveal a lot more than you might think that they would do.

During this family heritage project i have learned a lot of things about me and my family. I can't believe that i have lived 12 (almost 13) years of my life without knowing where my family originated from. Imagine being 50 years old and knowing nothing about your family. It just feels so great to have that blanket lifted from my head and to know more.

Matthew and Luke both feature a genealogy of Jesus but although those genealogies should match up they differ quite severely. In many ways that is due to the fact that Luke and Matthew had very different ideas on whom exactly the messiah was. Luke’s take on the genealogies of Jesus starts at joseph and works all the way back to Adam and subsequently god (Luke 3:23). Matthew works backwards from Abraham back down to joseph and then his stepson Jesus (Matthew 1:1). Both genealogy’s merge from Abraham to David but interestingly they split when Luke defers to David’s son Nathan and Matthew turns to his other son Solomon. Luke seems to trace Jesus genealogy as the son of god while Matthew is directly tracing that of his stepfather joseph back to

I have a family tree with branches by the dozens. I have grandpas. I have grandmas. I have uncles, aunts, and cousins. When it’s reunion time, no matter what the weather, it is such a happy day, when the family gets together. Moses 6:5-8 and again in verse 46 "This history of the dealings of God with his people and the experiences they had constitutes our present scripture. It is nothing more or less than sacred family history. Because it was written under the influence of the Spirit of the Holy Ghost, it became scripture" (Theodore M. Burton, "The Inspiration of a Family Record," Ensign, Jan. 1977, 17). President Spencer W. Kimball said: "I urge all of the people of this church to

Last name’s have a large role in one’s family history and can be traced to find out the origin of where you are from and the culture one identifies with. There are millions of different surname used throughout the world and each one has a unique meaning. In most Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, two or more last names may be used. Where as in most Asian countries, the surname is placed before a person’s first name. The history of a “last name” evolves from a medieval naming practice called a “byname”, often based on an individual’s occupation or area of residence.

Family history is very important to an individual. By knowing where you come from, you can have a better perspective of your life. Having a clear understanding of your family background allows you to better appreciate the things that you would normally take for granted. The house, the car, and the average clothing may look better when one sees the sacrifices their family has made. They will see that their family has worked very hard just so their family can experience the better things in life. A persons roots and origin is one of the most important things to explore. It alone can bring you closer to self-discovery.
