Genealogy software, and new developments - the 'trait' word - and planning for 7.5 billion people re diversity, and a single family tree:


Mark, Sandy, All


Sandy: What would make a great artist-in-residence position at a university? (see below).


Thanks, Mark (from this morning):

"Scott,

One excellent and free source of genealogical info is "Family Search." A bit clumsy interface but it's run my the Mormon church - a group that takes genealogy seriously! I find their record collection to be excellent.

Mark"

And my reply to Mark this morning:

Mark:

Thanks, and interesting (re Family Search).

Hank Greely re Ancestry .com and DNA yesterday ...

"I've the data download from Ancestry as well as a moderately deep Y chromosome analysis. John & I just haven't figured out a way to compare codes."

Will genetics' textbooks be re-written remarkably for 'trait' language in next 10-20 years per the sentence ...

"To aid in the interpretation and sharing of genomes, Church, in 2005, initiated the Personal Genome Project (PGP),[63] which provides the world's only open-access human genome and trait data sets.[64][65][66] " (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Church_(geneticist)) ... which I would think will become interoperable with WikiTree eventually (eg https://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/MacLeod-2524/5).


... which genealogists will then explore for their own family genealogy/history?  (Have you ever checked out a genetics' textbook for your genealogy research? I haven't yet).

Am glad Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely is Tweeting about Ancestry. Maybe Google / Stanford will get their hands' on Ancestry .com software - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/hawksbill-sea-turtle-great-family.html - with WikiTree, and navigate the genetic information revolution ahead  (I teach a bit about this in http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html ie it's as significant as the 3 other IT revolutions, microelectronics, computers, & telecommunications -
The Information Technology Revolution: History and Geography (Scott MacLeod)

https://youtu.be/FJIy6LpZLeI and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/04/black-lace-mushrooms-information.html).

One issue that WikiTree's plans for 7.5 billion people will add re the Mormon Church's genealogy, and others,' is diversity: "WikiTree: Together we're growing an accurate single family tree using DNA and traditional genealogical sources." (Am recalling Alex Haley's "Roots" book from the '70s even in these regards).

Will check out Family Search with time, Mark! (But could this be integrated too with a Stanford / Google / WikiTree / Ancestry .com approach to Ancestry family genealogy software (re their entrepreneurialism, and since A is probably making money)?:) Looks like WikiTree possibly has a 256 ancestor limit, I just noticed. Thanks!

Warm regards, Scott


PS In a 25 minute call with Margo Warnecke yesterday, I seem to have been offered an artist-in-residence position yesterday in Sonoma having attended a Stanford Historical Society presentation online - https://mailchi.mp/c1b4dd9afe60/2020-winter-newsletter-4905445?e=d9473d6051 - about architect John Carl Warnecke by granddaughter - at the Warnecke ranch / Institute - https://www.chalkhillresidency.com/artist-residency. Having published 3 books of poetry and in playing the Scottish Small Pipes, would this be structured & remunerated like a Stanford University artist in residency, I wonder? And could my hypothetical wife-to-be occupy my place in Canyon 945616 while I was in residence? I just looked and this position isn't structured like a Stanford artist-in-residency at all, rather it looks like residents pay rent - so am not interested in this position after all. BUT could I instead explore an artist-in-residency position at Stanford University itself, if I were to find one posted, and after Stanford opens again?

Gonna be hot here today again! :)
