Family historians depend upon thousands of people unknown to them. They exchange research with others; copy information from books and databases; and write libraries, societies, and government offices. At times they even hire professionals to do legwork in distant areas and trust strangers to solve important problems. But how do family historians know they are producing or receiving trustworthy results? This official manual from the Board of Certification for Genealogists, essentially a users' guide for family historians, provides standards for genealogical researchers to assess their own and others' work. The revised second edition increases the clarity of DNA and privacy standards. Those standards are especially useful in the twenty-first century, when many genealogists use a complex new tool¿DNA testing¿and trace living people more often than they did in the past.

Dieses Lexikon beinhaltet eine umfassende Auflistung von mehr als 20.000 japanischen Schwertschmieden, und zwar von den Anfängen bis zur Moderne, sprich vom kotô bis zum shinsakutô. Es handelt sich dabei aber um keine reine Liste, sondern es werden je nach Bekanntheitsgrad des Schmiedes Informationen über dessen biographische Daten bereitgestellt. Ziel ist es, dem Leser ein - so gut es geht - schlüssiges Bild über einen gesuchten Schmied zu geben. Sprich - wann hat er gelebt, wie war sein bürgerlicher Name, wie hat er signiert, wie hat er in etwa stilistisch gearbeitet und wer war sein Meister bzw. sein schulisches Umfeld. Dabei wird auch auf die gängigsten den Schmied betreffenden Theorien eingegangen und auf Diskrepanzen in den Überlieferungen hingewiesen.Dieses Werk basiert auf einer revidierten und komplett neu erfassten Schmiedeliste unter Bezugnahme einschlägiger japanischer und nicht-japanischer Quellen. Es wurden fehlerhafte Einträge und Doppellistungen gestrichen und Lesungen korrigiert. Die Reihung erfolgt alphabetisch und nach verwendeten Schriftzeichen sortiert. Einleitend wird eine nach Strichzahlen sortierte Liste aller in diesem Lexikon in Schmiedenamen verwendeten Schriftzeichen bereitgestellt, die das Finden eines Schmiedes unbekannter Lesung ermöglichen.

This book presents the personalities, doctrines, divisions and events that shaped an American denomination, the Church of God Abrahamic Faith. Yet, it is more than the chronicle of a denomination, it is a compilation of hundreds of detailed biographies, spanning more than 150 years, plus photos, charts, doctrinal discussions, and more. The book honors and records the faithfuls' commitment to God through dedication and sacrifice, while revealing, with forthright honesty, controversial people and doctrinal disagreements. The Biographical Encyclopedia serves as an ultimate resource for students, religious scholars, historians, genealogists, clergy and believers of all ages.
