For the time being, my data is stored in a database in the Worldconnect project section in www.rootsweb.com. In order to view the data that I have to date, you can click on ‘DATABASE’ above or you can click on ‘SURNAMES’ above. The SURNAME option will take you to pages where you can select the individual in which you are interested. As I create the Family Group Sheets, I will be changing the link under the Surname/Given Name page from the Worldconnect page to this website

One-name study Mauchline

"The Mauchline name can now be found all over the English-speaking world however, its origins are truly Scottish, most likely originally from the area around the present day village of Mauchline, in Ayrshire. Today Mauchline is famous Worldwide for the antique transfer printed wooden objects called Mauchline-ware.

http://www.mauchlinefamilyhistory.co.uk/


There are two main family groups, one based in the West of Scotland and the other in the Borders. The name is primarily spelled ‘Mauchline’, however variants with just about every conceivable spelling exists including: Mauchlan, Mauchlin, Mauchlen, Mauchlain, Mauchlyn, Maughlin and Maughlyn. In most families the spelling changes between generations due to illiteracy and probably some heavy accents. Today most of the variants have survived in distinctive groupings."

The OneGreatFamily Tree is a powerful genealogy database that is shared and built by people like you from all over the world. Everyone's genealogy ties into the OneGreatFamily Tree."

Internet-Based Collective Family Tree
Examples: OneGreatFamily

description:
Everybody works on one single on-line family tree, but each user maintains a unique view of how his or her family lines connect into the single on-line family tree. All duplication is automatically eliminated. System automatically searches for new connec-tions and ancestors for you, and automatically merges them for you.

pros/cons:
Only one in the world. Greatly reduces tedious work and time spent, focusing you on key decisions. Full chaining occurs, so that tying into the core tree often results in tens of thousands of ancestors automatically added to your tree.

Linked Family Trees
Examples: Ancestry OneWorldConnect(sm)

description:
Each submitted tree is maintained separate from the other trees in the collection, but links are formed between apparently identical people. Links may lead to other family trees or proprietary genealogy content.

pros/cons:
Because trees aren’t automatically merged, you have to review and accept even completely obvious matches. Links sometimes require an additional paid subscription.


A Collection of Family Trees
Examples: World Family Tree Ancestry Family Tree GenCircles

description:
Each submitted tree is maintained separately and distinctly from other trees in the collection. You can manually search for your ancestors in the trees in the collection. If you find an ancestor, you must download the tree and merge it into your tree using PC software.

pros/cons:
You do all the searching and merging work yourself. Sometimes older versions of a newly submitted tree are still present.

January 27-29, 2008:

• We've had so much snow up here during the last week (24+ inches, which is a lot for Pine Mountain Club) that the telecom infrasture collapsed and we lost both our Internet T1s and our plain old voice telephone service for about 38 hours. We're back now.

Linkpendium's first public facilities are in production now. We expect to be rolling out further functionality at a rapid pace.

Linkpendium is being developed by Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich, founders of the extremely popular RootsWeb genealogical community site. At the time of its merger with Ancestry in June 2000, RootsWeb had about 600,000 registered users, was serving about 100,000,000 Web page views monthly, and was delivering about 160,000,000 pieces of email monthly to the subscribers of its 18,000 mailing lists. The company had more than 40 employees and operated its own 7,000 square foot network operations center in Bakersfield, CA.

Before founding RootsWeb, Karen was a member of the research staff at The RAND Corporation. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Washington State University and a Master of Science in Operations Research from Stanford University, where she was a National Science Foundation Fellow. Karen's hobbies include genealogical research, mountain climbing, and mountain biking. She is a rated leader of the Sierra Club and past Chairman of the Hundred Peaks Section.

Before founding RootsWeb, Brian was a member of the research staff at The RAND Corporation. He has also served on the faculty of the University of Southern California and as Director of Statistical Systems and Credit Marketing Research at The Zale Corporation. He holds Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University, a Master of Science in Operations Research from Stanford University, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Analysis from The RAND Graduate School. Brian's hobbies include genealogical research, mountain climbing, and mountain biking. He is a rated leader of the Sierra Club, Chair of the Hundred Peaks Section, and Adminstrative Chair of the Angeles Chapter's Leadership Training Committee.

Anyone who wants to see pictures of Karen, Wolf (Brian), and their mountaineering friends at play are welcome to visit MtPinos.com.

Both Karen and Brian have been active on the ARPAnet / Internet for more than twenty-five years. They live surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest in a mountain cabin 60 miles north and 5,000 vertical feet above Los Angeles. The cabin is equipped with indifferently reliable indoor plumbing, an elderly and incontinent German Shepherd Dog named Eve, a white Siberian Husky named Pecos, a black kitten appropriately named Diablo, and a T1 data connection direct to the Internet backbone.

Dunfermline Journal, 1851-1931 - Ancestry.co.uk:
"this database contains images of the Dunfermline Journal, the main local newspaper of Dunfermline, Scotland, dating from 1851-1931.

Newspapers are a rich source of information for genealogists, and often contain information not possible to get elsewhere. Local newspapers are famous for publishing as many names and details of local people as possible, covering events such as births, marriages, deaths, wedding anniversaries, personal achievements, and personal tragedies.

Dunfermline is the ancient capital of Scotland and home to the world’s first Carnegie Library (it was the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie). The newspapers contained in this collection come from Carnegie Library."
