Genealogy Study & Survey
#general
Eileen Polakoff <eileenpolakoff@...>
As genealogists and family historians, you may be interested in
participating in the following study. I just did it and it did take 20 minutes or so but I think it's important for us to express our reasons for genealogy in such a format. If interested or if you have questions, please visit the web site listed < http://psych.fullerton.edu/genealogy > for further information. The Fullerton Genealogy Study A Master's Thesis Project by Pamela Drake California State University, Fullerton Nearly 60% of U.S. residents participate in some genealogical activities. Yet there is sparse information about the millions of people involved in this rewarding hobby and what needs are met by the pursuit of one's ancestors. A thesis project designed to address these questions is being conducted at California State University Fullerton. See the survey at: http://psych.fullerton.edu/genealogy Eileen Polakoff

"nikao" means " to win",and "aner/ andros" means " man, male" So it could be translated as : victorious man or man who causes victory. Michele Krakowski le 22/03/01 4:23, Robert Israel israel@math.ubc.ca a crit:
