Academic Globalization of "Genealogy Method"

Method of investigative scholarship to establish valid
generational relationships connecting any specialty,
as used within or between all fields of knowledge.
JUSTIFICATION: Genealogy Method procedures that
discover and record connections of kinship, descent
and marriage, can also be used to establish accurate
understanding, for related knowledge system properties,
using diagrams, symbols and scholarly analysis.
An academic usage of "Genealogy Method" in real time, within fields of
research, vindicates truthfulness of
conclusions, as shown by historical comparison. The
"genealogy method", or "genealogical perspective":
scientific method of looking to the past, by using a "reverse" process
of economic projection methodology.

Prosopographical Theory of Genealogy defined:
Comprehensive evidence based
family studies,
using academic "genealogy method"
procedure,
within
a wide range of disciplines, professions and
applied, formal, natural and social
sciences; humanities,
computer technology, religious
studies, anthropology,
languages, business and education
practices, sociology,
psychology, library and depository
facilities, demography,
Internet skills and databases, health
sciences, geography,
economics, cultural studies, law,
history and social work.
This "genealogical perspective" is a
scientific
method of looking to the past, by
using a "reverse"
process of economic projection methodology; i.e.,
[an absent or imagined person (prior to genealogical
confirmation
from primary source documentation) is
figured forth --
the "face created" as the Greek suggests
-- in words, as if present
(after the pedigree is established
according to the current genealogical
proof standard).]
In other words, extrapolating trends
into the past, as a
function of conditions,
characteristics and data records,
endogenous to current variables in
family performance.
The theory of genealogy is based upon the
assertion that
all mankind has natural and legal
rights, as well as the word
of God, concerning the origin of Man
and record keeping.
The United States
Declaration of Independence states: "We
hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness, -- . .
.".
"Knowledge
of and definite relationship to his
genealogy is ... necessary for a
child to build
up his complete body image and world
picture.
It is an inalienable and entitled
right of every
person. There is an urge, a call, in
everybody
to follow and fulfill the tradition
of his family,
race, nation, and the religious
community into
which he was born. The loss of this
tradition
is a deprivation which may result in
the stunting
of emotional development . . . ".

demographic sources; occupational cultures and
family economies in the past;
childhood, adoption and fostering; autobiography
and family history; the middle-
class family and its structures in the 19th and
20th centuries; clerical and aristocratic
dynasties; and family history from the records of

family history; Asian immigration
and family history, and other topics connected to
British and ethnic identities and
family diasporas, relating to migration,
