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 Professionalism and Ethics in Computing | Online Learning from SQA 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!

A dozen ways to teach ethical and safe technology use From the draft of my Survival Skills book: A dozen ways to teach and promote ethical and safe technology use Responsible teachers recognize that schools must give students the understandings and skills they need to stay safe not just in school, but outside of school where most Internet use by young people occurs. Over-filtered school networks set up a false sense of security; the real world of the Internet is quite different from the Internet at school. Teachers who address safe and ethical Internet use proactively: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Will doing those things guarantee that a student will never get in trouble or danger online? Ethical instruction needs to be on going. * Johnson’s 3 P’s of Technology Ethics: Image source:

Using Google Image Search in Your Research - Lisa Lisson Have you ever used Google Image Search to search images (ie photos, postcards, etc) in your genealogical research? Like most everyone these days, I search the internet using a search engine like Google. I search using keywords and phrases. I “google” everything except the images in my family history files. Think of the potential…. My ancestors photos could be in someone else’s closet. Back to Google Image Search….. Below are the steps to search for an image on Google. 1. 2. 3. I uploaded a photograph of Esther Lee Richardson taken in the late 1910′s. Search results for where this photograph appears on the web appear. I have a set of “unknown” photographs that I perform a Google Image Search on regularly. Have you had interesting results from a Google Image Search?

Customize Your Resume to Your Profession Social and Ethical Behavior in the Internet of Things | February 2017 By Francine Berman, Vinton G. Cerf Communications of the ACM, February 2017, Vol. 60 No. 2, Pages 6-7 10.1145/3036698Comments Last October, millions of interconnected devices infected with malware mounted a "denial-of-service" cyberattack on Dyn, a company that operates part of the Internet's directory service. Such attacks require us to up our technical game in Internet security and safety. They also expose the need to frame and enforce social and ethical behavior, privacy, and appropriate use in Internet environments. Social behavior and appropriate use become even more crucial as we build out the "Internet of Things" (IoT)—an increasingly interconnected cyber-physical-biological environment that links devices, systems, data, and people. The difference between an IoT that enhances society and one that diminishes it will be determined by our ability to create an effective model for IoT governance.
