Genealogy: the World of Ancestry

I have had the pleasure of researching family genealogy the past week. 

The journey has been an interesting one. I have found connections that I had never dreamed of as well as found new connections. Resolution has been the theme.  

Now I am on a crusade to find evidentury support for my findings. I ran into a lot of them on my quest, now I am hoping I can find other sources to codify my hypothesis. 

Tax, census, property, and other records to verify someone was where we believe they were is really going to help. 

I have created a Family Genealogy page so I can publish findings, research, hypotheses, and record support so family members do not have to redo our genealogy every next generation. 

Wouldn't that save time? 

Then we can focus our resources onto finding more connections instead of rehashing the old. 

If you would like to help, here is my message on RootsWeb: Chisholmes - VA to TX... Need Records Verification.

 I am sure if we begin a records depot, we can save everyone in the future a lot of time! 

Thank you so much Chisholmes for your participation.

Have a great and wonderful day!

Humans, We're Not so Human After All

So, you think you are human: Homo sapien sapien. 

You may not be so human after all. In the article: New Ancient “Mystery Human” Species Identified Shakes Up The Theory Of Evolution, humans discover that our DNA is not so human, but a collection of interbreeding species from long ago. 

Just face it: your ancestors were sluts. 

“What it begins to suggest is that we’re looking at a Lord of the Rings type world – that there were many hominid populations.” - (1) Mark Thomas, evolutionary geneticist at University College London.

According to DNA samples and cave excavations, more than one type of hominids exists along with our ancestral links. 

What information can be gleaned for today's writers?  Even humans are crossbreeds from different times and peoples. With science fiction, alien races would have the same impurities. In horror, zombies, vampires, and werewolves could harbor from a different sect of the human, or inhuman ancestry. What combinations could be exploited to develop new horrors and aliens for readers.

The Lord of the Rings could be reality. 

What can a writer, artist do to show how these influences have changed the way we look at ourselves in genres that reflect our own natures back onto us?
