The Guild of One-Name Studies, in cooperation with the Local Population Studies Society, has just completed a series of presentations with the umbrella title Widening Horizons —looking at ways of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data collected in the process of one-name or one-place studies, family history or local population analysis. The data is based mainly on UK records, but records from other countries are cited where appropriate.
I've viewed two of the six listed at https://one-name.org/widening-horizons-webinar-series/.
Mortality and Morbidity: a study of National Registration death certificates for two families 1837 to 2009, presented by veteran researcher Elizabeth E Green (don't be put off by a few technical glitches in the first half)
Identifying business proprietors from the census; and using the online Atlas on entrepreneurship by Professor Bob Bennett (University of Cambridge)
I'm looking forward to viewing
Looking at single trees and whole orchards: how genealogists and demographers can work together, presented by Dr Eilidh Garrett
At present, the archived presentations appear to be available to view by non-members.
The Webinar "Identifying business proprietors from the census; and using the online Atlas on entrepreneurship" by Professor Bob Bennett (University of Cambridge)
ReplyDeleteIS EXCELLENT and brings out a new great tool for understanding
Social History.
Scotland data not on the Atlas - yet - hopefully in the future.
Thanks
