Computers Vs. Humans: Comparing Outputs of Genealogy Programs
Computers vs. Humans: Comparing Output of Genealogy Programs Computers vs. Humans: Comparing Output of Genealogy Programs © 2009, Debbie Parker Wayne First publication rights granted to Digital Genealogist, July 2009. All other rights reserved. Computers are very good at handling repetitive, logical tasks—not so good at creativity. Any fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation will remember the trouble Commander Data had with tasks that required feelings or creativity. Even the imaginative minds that created Star Trek: TNG could not imagine computers had advanced so much by the 24th century that an android could rival the creativity of the human mind. There has been an ongoing discussion in the genealogical world about whether genealogy programs can “create” output or reports that meet the creative standards we strive for today—more than a list of begats—an interesting family history with analysis of kinship communities and social context that makes the reader care about the family and want to know more. Some genealogists expect a well-written narrative to be magically spit out by a genealogy program’s report generator. Genealogy databases allow a genealogical summary report to be generated using canned sentences that Sergeant Joe Friday would love—just the facts. The more advanced programs allow customization of the output sentences and source citations to make the narrative more exciting and interesting. Some genealogists think there is no reason for a genealogy program to offer these options. They want only a bare-bones family summary with birth, marriage, and death information. This summary is copied into a word processor where the sentences that flow from the creative juices are then added. -

Choosing the Right Family History Software
201 Unley Rd, Unley SA 5061 GPO Box 592, Adelaide SA 5001 (08) 8272 4222 https://genealogysa.org.au [email protected] How to choose the right software for you Family tree software programs are computer programs, available both South Australia South online and offline, which are used for creating a family tree. There is a large variety of family tree software programs available. Some of them provide basic family tree templates An example of a Legacy Family Tree page while others allow you to enter large amounts of family data, including photos and other documents such as maps, letters, diaries and newspaper articles. The choice of a family tree software program depends on your needs. Therefore, whenever choosing family tree software, it is important that you work out your needs and expectations and then choose the software that best fulfils them. According to recent surveys, the most popular programs for Windows-based computers are Legacy Family Tree, Family Historian and Family Tree Maker. For those working on a Mac-based system, Family Tree Maker, Reunion and MacFamily Tree are the top three. First decide who are your audience? Just for you, for your family or anyone who might be researching your family in the future. We all have different needs in our research, whether we are researching: a direct ancestral line direct ancestors plus their side lines all the living descendants of a particular couple for a reunion all families on-board a specific immigrant ship a One Name or One Place Study As a result we all have different needs for what we need to store and what we need to extract from our work. -

E nas últimas décadas cresceu muito o número de não católicos, o que dificulta a pesquisa nas Igrejas. Mas, mais antigamente, com a população 100 por cento católica, todos tinham assentados seus casamentos e batismos nas igrejas, nas paróquias da Igreja Católica que tem registros desde 1538. Abaixo, um batismo de 1538 na Cidade do Funchal, na Paróquia Catedral da Sé do Funchal. - - Como você começa por você e seus pais, é mais fácil pesquisar primeiro em cartórios de registro civil no Brasil, que são mais organizados e livros com índices e geralmente um só ou dois por cidade, mais fácil de achar do que correr dezenas de paróquias de uma cidade grande. -
