Theses
and
Dissertations - Family History and Genealogy
Theory Development & Historical Antecedents --- Generational
Family Matrix Research
The
central theoretical basis of genealogy lies in the process of familial
reconstitution.
Beginning with a family the investigator uses certain
principles and laws (the theory) to
posit a possible source of additional relevant information. KEY Through instrumentation
(the source) and experimentation (searching it out), the
researcher discovers an actual
source fitting the criteria posited. By using the theory again the
investigator is able to
establish the evidence as justifying an extension to the family and
pedigree. He [she]
--- is obligated to accept findings of scholars in anthropology,
economics, geography,
psychology, sociology, demographics, and history. Certainly he
[she] should be well
versed in some of those related disciplines. - There is [also] the
search for new data,
[with] the establishment of its relevance, the creation of hypotheses,
and a proper
consideration for previous research and for the findings of related
disciplines.
[Thus, the conclusion is made, that -- ] Genealogical research has four
facets:
(1) heuristic; (2) knowledge of area, (3) research analysis, and (4)
compilation.

Academic Globalization of "Genealogy Method"
CURRENT USE DEFINITION 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
& marriage, can also be used to establish accurate
understanding in all knowledge system properties,
using diagrams, symbols and scholarly analysis.
Academic usage of "Genealogy Method" in real time,
within fields of
research, vindicates the truthfulness
of conclusions, as shown by historical comparison;
("genealogy method", or "genealogical perspective")
is a
scientific method of looking to the past, by using a
"reverse" process
of
economic projection methodology
(historical, computerized data sets extrapolated back in time).
"The key technical problem in much of economic analysis is the
determination
of some unknown function."
"These constructions rely on Taylor's theorem, the
implicit function
theorem, and bifurcation theory, and lead to
the construction of
Taylor or Padé series, or other approximations of a
simple form." "These methods
are called perturbation, or asymptotic methods. The basic idea of
asymptotic methods
is to formulate a
general problem, find a particular case which has a known solution,
and then use that particular case and its solution as a starting point
for computing
approximate solutions to 'nearby' problems. These methods are widely
used in
mathematical physics, particularly in quantum mechanics and
general relativity
theory, with much success." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "We take the view that in the
future such theoretical analyses will be
done by computer software,
and is an interesting new avenue of
computational economics."

Prosopographical Theory of Genealogy defined
[Prosopography
(pdf)]:
Comprehensive evidence based
Family & Society Studies Worldwide,
using
the 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. REF:
NGS | Mastering Genealogical Proof
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
of
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 . . . ".
