The International Genealogical Index: Obtaining an Eighteen Century Surname

A genogram is a diagram that shows family members and their relationships. The information can sometimes include, ages, dates, deaths, and or geographic locations. Males are represented by squares and females are represented by circles. The horizontal lines indicate marriage; while the vertical line indicates parents and children. This paper outlines the assessment and analysis of the three generation of the Jones and Sheffield family, relationships, structures, and health struggles.

The turn of the 20th century was a time of great optimism and anxiety ("1900: A Year in the Life of America." - Genealogy.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Aug. 2015.). There were constant advancements in technology and new products being made all the time, making life much easier ("1900: A Year in the Life of America." - Genealogy.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Aug. 2015.). This better life attracted immigrants from all over ("1900: A Year in the Life of America." - Genealogy.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Aug. 2015.). Sadly, for many of them as well as natives, the only work they could get was mediocre with poor working conditions, long hours, and small paychecks ("1900: A Year in the Life of America." - Genealogy.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Aug. 2015.). The same can be said for the Nolan family from “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”. Francie Nolan, an Irish-American girl growing up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, doesn’t let her family’s poverty drag her down ("Analysis of Major Characters." SparkNotes. SparkNotes, n.d. Web. 19 Aug. 2015.). The story

For my primary source I chose the “The Three Walls Of The Romanists” - a section of the “Address To The Nobility of the German Nation” written by Martin Luther in 1520. I am captivated in Martin Luther because he stood up to the Pope and the Emperor and broached his thoughts to the world. After spending some rightful time researching about what he did for the Reformation, I was completely absorbed. Martin Luther considered that redemption came by faith alone, which meant that by faith alone one could get into heaven. This belief was different from the Catholic Church because the church alleged that one needed the church’s help to get into heaven. The Church sold forbearance, which was when one came to the church to ask for forgiveness of their sins, and then the church charged money to the disciple of Christ for forgiveness of their sins. Luther expressed anger concerning the Church and the Pope because the Pope was manipulating the people.

Origins of a family have meaning and history. By keeping track of family relations also known as a family tree it can allow us to keep records of the past. The Edwards family tree shows great record from the early 1700 's to the mid 1800 's. This family tree demonstrates when a person was baptized; when they got married; and when they passed away. The Edwards family chart show the different relations of marriages and fertility rate from today 's society. From the chart we can determine that the Edwards family show a different demography compared to todays society. This is because life expectancy was shorter; families were larger; and finally marriages were happening at a young age.

Medication assistant treatment also known as (MAT) is when a person has presented with an opioid addiction and have challenges stopping and/or abstaining from opioid use and they are prescribed either Methadone, Suboxone, or Vivitrol. Those who are in support for MAT is that this a better alternative to having individuals addicted to illicit substances. The other side to MAT is that this is way to keep individuals addicted to drugs, legally. I do not support MAT treatment as a form of long term treatment and not as the solution for opioid addiction. Serving as an Addiction Counselor and working with individuals who are addicted to opioids, I encounter many individuals who are or at one point utilized

As color is more than an artists’ statement when it comes to heredity. We set some colors to have more value than others. As if the rainbow was a key to a hierarchy for our society to follow. All people are equal. Every man despite genealogy is genetically beautifully equal in our species. Race, ethnicity, religion, disability all factors included; are simply part of making us all unique.

The capstone report that I decided that I wanted to read is Nydera A. Washington class of 1995. Her topic is My Family Tree. The items that make up her honors portfolio are as follows; All In The Family, An Unforgettable Summer, The Ethics of Medicine, Deadly Temptation, The Evolution of Gospel Music, An Honor’s College Reflection. I absolutely enjoyed reading Ms. Washington capstone and not because she is originally from New Jersey. Ms. Washington begins her capstone examining her ancestor background. She sums up her family’s success in the last paragraph by stating, “my family has both triumphed and struggled, some courageously faced the oppression of their day […] embracing arms of the white race.” Washington moves on to discuss one of her worst summers at the University of Rochester. She participated in this research since her freshman and she felt that she did considerably well. However, the energy was very negative at the predominantly white institutions. When she spoke about her goals and aspirations in a learning environment she was frowned upon. Next she conducted a study using diagrams on Pyrazolones using three parts. She continued a research assignment based on the Ethical Issues In Medicine Reproductive and Genetic Technology. She believes that some technological advancements can be detrimental

There have been very few books that I have changed in relation to the amount I 've been forced to read and in the amount that exist / I 've enjoyed a few Greek tragedies like the story of promethius or atlas, world war z, do androids dream of electric sleep, many of Isaac Asimov 's books, many of Arthur C Clarke 's books as well, some H.P. Love craft works, 1984, starship troopers, anthem and the halo book series. Not that I don 't enjoy reading, I read everyday as a matter of fact but they tend to be news articles, opinion pieces, forums, academic journals in the sciences, Wikipedia entries and so on but not any books. I 've never really enjoyed the books that were specifically assigned to be read in school and books I did enjoy I read earlier like anthem or Fahrenheit 451. Reading at school always to me seemed like an act in futility since I didn 't enjoy it since the material wasn 't very interesting to me and that I already a more than generous amount on my own on the internet but that never counted and the material certainly wasn 't covered in the computer quizzes that also gave one special reading points in elementary school. However the first interesting books that I did read I was enthralled by. Not only because of the interesting stories but also because of the various philosophical implications. I particularly enjoyed the trope of an ancient precursor civilization that is used in many scifi today, something started by Arthur C Clarke. Even today the most

To start my family origin paper we have to go way back to 1976 when my parents met in Alamo, North Dakota; a town of about 200 people in the northwestern part of the state. They met while going through school playing sports, mainly basketball. Both were pretty good at the sport and won some awards and had chances to play more but decided to get married and start a family instead. Both grew up around the whole farming scene. My mom actually lived on a farm growing up and also as she started her own family. My dad lived in the small town but his grandpa had a farm not far from where he grew up and also helped a lot of the local

If our family was a family of archaeologists, we wouldn’t survive the first day! Our family being archaeologists is like a living oxymoron, and well, if we were a family of archaeologists things would flow pretty differently. First off I wouldn’t get to experience sports and go to a wonderful school like McAuliffe. I couldn’t imagine not being able to go outside and throw a football around with my dad, and not being able to go to Taekwondo classes, no way. Plus I wouldn’t be able to go to school and hang out with my friends every day. Also, all I could fish for are lizards and snakes and the only pets I would have is anything I caught (that is if I could catch anything). Lastly we would get like an hour and a half of family time a day including in the mornings! Life would certainly be different if our family was a family of

This semester, you will have the opportunity to construct a family genogram for informational purposes. You will develop a genogram, documenting information from both sides of your family (maternal and paternal) for 4 generations starting with yourself.
