Family Trees Searched at Ten Sites | Family Tree Searcher geneaology-genology-geanology @ GenealogyBlog Spelling and Genealogy Spelling doesn’t count in geneaology, genology, geanology, geaneology, geneolgy, genelogy or is it geniology? Wait the correct spelling is genealogy, but who’s really paying attention. Anyone who’s been doing genealogy research for any length or time knows that the spelling of ones name doesn’t count. There are many search engines out there were you can search for your ancestors such as Ancestry.com , Archives.com , , Fold3 , OneGreatFamily and Genealogy Bank to name a few of them. That technique may work for you when you’re using a search engine which has that capability, but what do you do when you’re using a search engine such as Google or Bing. What seemed to have worked for me on occasion is to keep track of every spelling of both a first name and the surname of an individual. While some search engines require a last name, many do not. Sometimes with census records from a small town or city, I’ve been able to find a record without entering any name at all.

In 1833 the City of New York took the first steps toward a structure that would house not only the civil courts, but a place of detention for prisoners awaiting hearings.During the 18th Century the area that would become known as Five Points was a 48-acre fresh water lake called Collect Pond. It was, in some spots, up to 60 feet deep. It was here that the city fathers decided to built The Halls of Justice. When excavation for the foundation began in 1835 the builders knew they were in trouble. The engineers devised a system of pilings – large hemlock trees lashed together – and a “raft.” The solution worked. When completed in 1838, John Haviland’s Egyptian mausoleum was a wonder. Not everyone appreciated the design. Despite its remarkable architectural integrity, it was described as “gloomy,” “dark,” and “foreboding.” Unfortunately Haviland was more interested in the architectural appearance of his design than in its function.

3-D Earth Structure Model Interpreting Seismograms - A Tutorial for the AS-1 Seismograph 1 Objective: This tutorial is intended as a resource for the interpretation of seismograms recorded by educational seismographs. The tutorial provides a description of the main features of the Earth that affect seismic wave propagation and therefore controls the character of seismic signals recorded on seismographs. A catalog of selected seismograms is also presented to illustrate the variation in signal properties with distance, magnitude, and depth of focus. After initial visual analysis of an earthquake seismogram, one can often determine additional information about the event by identifying phases (individual arrivals on the seismogram that travel a distinct path through the Earth) and measuring amplitudes to estimate the magnitude of the earthquake. This tutorial is available for viewing with a browser (html file) and for downloading as an MS Word document or PDF file at the following locations: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Saturn is named after the Roman God Saturnus. 666 & The Cult of Saturn “The plural term Elohim appears over 2500 times in the Old Testament but is falsely translated in most versions. Semitic civilizations referred to the god Saturn as “El” who is the supreme deity and represented by a black cube. “That is why today, when you get married, you get married before God. In astrotheology, Saturn is Satan, the cult of EL, so who are we really giving our energy to? Windows on the World – The Cult of Saturn If: Indeed.
