How to Print a 9 Generations of Your Family Tree on a Fan Chart | We Are Cousins In this post you will learn where and how to print 9 generations of your family tree on a fan chart. It is free and very easy to do. Last Saturday I made a blog post at my personal blog website moisesgarza.com titled “Getting Started With X-DNA Genealogy Research“. On that post I shared a partial image of my family tree highlighting the ancestors from whom I possibly inherited my X-Chromosome. I got many readers asking where I had created the chart that I used and that sparked me to create this blog post since it may be just what you need to display your family tree. What you see above is what you will get. I printed the above chart using the 9 Generation Fan (black & white) at TreeSeek.com There are two ways that this website can create the fan chart for you. The second way to create your chart will be to upload a Gedcom file. Once you create your Gedcom, under the Blue Button found at the website there is a link labeled “TRY NOW”. Click on “Choose File” and upload your Gedcom.

How to Build a Career Worth Having WordPress for Genealogy: Adding a Lineage Snapshot Box to Blog Posts About Ancestors, Part I Recently someone asked on my family history blog (Colleen and Jeff’s Roots) what program I use to add the Genealogy Snapshot box to the blog posts I write about each ancestor or relative. Anytime I write a blog post profiling an ancestor or relative, I add a box to the bottom of the post that notes the person’s name, parents’ names, spouse’s name, relationship to me or my husband, and the generation trail between that featured person and my husband or me (using a numbered list instead of a bullet list so that one can easily identify the number of generations between the featured ancestor and my husband or me). A diagram of my typical Genealogy Snapshot box, displayed at the bottom of a post about my Grand Uncle Pat Flanagan. Note how under the Relationship list (the generations trail), I indicate how he is related to me (the Uncle of my mother). Why a Genealogy Snapshot? I do this because: It can be confusing for readers (even for me!) General Approach The Code Building & Populating the Box

Blog 2013, that is! As we embrace the new I’m thankful for so much — and especially all of the excellent people I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. The projects have been stimulating and satisfying — from facilities master planning, technology planning, tech assessments, coaching, keynote speeches at conferences, teaching, and other activities. But the real joy has been working with so many outstanding people, all across the country. As libraries face some of the greatest challenges in their histories, they are also in some very good hands. Experienced librarians are using their wisdom and knowledge to navigate through the murky waters of eMaterials and remind us that although formats change, the core mission of the public library – connecting people to information, ideas and enrichment as a public-funded good — endures. The combination of these elements makes me feel very lucky indeed. Here’s to you, and to all the best in 2013!

Internet search engines drove US librarians to redefine themselves Although librarians adopted Internet technology quickly, they initially dismissed search engines, which duplicated tasks they considered integral to their field. Their eventual embrace of the technology required a reinvention of their occupational identity, according to a study by University of Oregon researchers. The story of the successful transition -- of accommodating a new technology -- into a new identity is a good example for professionals in other fields who have faced or currently face such challenges, says Andrew J. Nelson, a professor of management and the Bramsen Faculty Fellow in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability in the UO's Lundquist College of Business. "We not only found that new technologies can disrupt occupations, which others have found before, but showed how members of an occupation can redefine themselves in relation to the technology to maintain a new role and a new relevance in society," Nelson said.
