Family Tree Project Would You Like an Opportunity to Learn More About Your Own History? How About Doing So by Making a Family Tree? There Are 4 Parts to This Project Family Tree Project Would you like an opportunity to learn more about your own history? How about doing so by making a family tree? There are 4 parts to this project. 1. Make a list of ancestors. At home, try to find out information about who your ancestors are. Find out their names, and start making a list. (Make sure to include yourself on the family tree! ☺) 2. Identify major events. For each generation, list at least one major event that they lived through that would have been known nationwide or world-wide. (For example: Someone who was alive during the 1930s would have lived through the Great Depression.) a. If you can talk with people, ask them about major events that they lived through and see what they say. b. If you are not able to discuss events with them, do a little research on your own to find out what happened during their lifetime. 3. Find a family heirloom. Find an object that is either already considered a family heirloom or that you hope becomes a family heirloom. Write a paragraph that explains what the object is. a. What is it? b. Where did it come from? c. How did it become part of your family? (Was it purchased? Was it handed down from generation to generation? Was it a recent gift?) d. Why is it important to your family? (Or, if it is something you hope becomes a family heirloom, why is it something you consider special and want to remain in your family for years to come and will be passed down from generation to generation?) 4. Explain what you learned. Write at least 6-10 sentences about what you learned by doing this project. Helpful Tips: • Use the worksheet on the next page to help record names and events. It does not need to be turned in. It is just meant to help organize information. Required Elements: What will I be turning in? • A digital presentation (such as PowerPoint) that includes the following information: o Title page/slide: ▪ Your Name ▪ Social Studies Block (1st, 2nd, 4th, or 5th) ▪ Cohort (A or B), and ▪ Date o Your Family Tree (with names and labels of who the individuals are, such as parents, grandparents, etc.) o Events - There should be a total of 4.

With the introduction of modern apple Malus domestica cultivars, from foreign and national breeding programs, the use of local cultivars decreased during the 20th SNP array century. In order to minimize genetic erosion and avoid loss of special genotypes, a number of local clonal Genotyping archives were established across Sweden, with the goal of retaining old and local cultivars. About 220 apple Pedigree cultivars, appointed for preservation, obtained the status of mandate cultivars. Initially, they were identified Gene bank based on pomological traits, but prior to the establishment of the Swedish Central Collection they were geno- Local cultivars SSR markers typed with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. SSR markers helped to evaluate the status of the preserved material, as well as to find the best possible true-to-type source for propagation, thus guiding the establishment of the Central Collection.

    Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Frontier A Record of Sixteen Years’ Close Intercourse with the Natives of the Indian Marches By T. L. Pennell, M.D., B.Sc., F.R.C (1909) Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar (2019) Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Frontier A Record of Sixteen Years’ Close Intercourse with the Natives of the Indian Marches By T. L. Pennell, M.D., B.Sc., F.R.C.S. With an introduction by Field-Marshal Earl Roberts, V.C., K.G. And with 37 Illustrations & 2 Maps 1909 Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar (2019) Dr. Pennell Travelling as a Sadhu or Mendicant Pilgrim TO MY MOTHER, TO THE INSPIRATION OF WHOSE LIFE AND TEACHING I OWE MORE THAN I CAN REALIZE OR RECORD Introduction This book is a valuable record of sixteen years’ good work by an officer—a medical missionary—in charge of a medical mission station at Bannu, on the North-West Frontier of India. Although many accounts have been written descriptive of the wild tribes on this border, there was still plenty of room for Dr. Pennell’s modestly-related narrative. Previous writers—e.g., Paget and Mason, Holdich, Oliver, Warburton, Elsmie, and many others—have dealt with the expeditions that have taken place from time to time against the turbulent occupants of the trans-Indus mountains, and with the military problems and possibilities of the difficult regions which they inhabit. But Dr. Pennell’s story is not concerned with the clash of arms. His mission has been to preach, to heal, and to save; and in his long and intimate intercourse with the tribesmen, as recounted in these pages, he throws many new and interesting sidelights on the domestic and social, as well as on the moral and religious, aspects of their lives and characters.
