Genealogy, sibbekunde or family tree research is a discipline of history that deals with ancestral research or the descent of the family name. Obviously, practicing genealogy is a very infectious activity, given the growing popularity of this leisure activity. It is not to be confused with family history. Origin of surnames: Surnames can be derived in different ways: the name can relate to the first name of one of the parents, parents-in-law or grandparents; this is called a patronymic. An example of this is Willem Janszoon, abbreviated to Willem Jans. The surname can also be related to the geographical location where one comes from (toponym), for example Jan van Boxmeer (from the place Boxmeer), but also Piet van de Ven (from a peat area) or Van de (r) Wijst (from grounds). A special form of toponyms occurs in Flanders, Brabant and the east of the Netherlands: farm names. People named themselves after the farm or inn where they lived, such as Leferink or Groot-Kromkamp. Many surnames have been corrupted over time due to clerical and clerical errors. Verbruggen next to Vanbrugge, Van Brugge or Dupont occur, so that finding out such family names can be quite a job. On the other hand, the phenomenon of naming used to occur frequently, so that a certain first name or a small variation on it was regularly applied to the descendants, which in turn offers some guidance. Under the regime of Napoleon, with the introduction of the registry office in 1811, it became mandatory to use a surname. In the Duchy of Brabant and in Flanders, family names had already stabilized almost everywhere in 1500, so that this did not really pose a problem. In certain regions of the Netherlands, however, it can cause problems for a genealogical researcher, because a family suddenly changed their surname. The adoption of a surname was recorded in the so-called registers of name adoption, which are part of the population register. Research: Main shapes: Descendants, graphically represented as parentage Most genealogists choose a certain type of research. There are four main shapes: Tribal series: all ancestors in the male line, from present to past; Pedigree chart: all ancestors in male and female lines, from present to past; Genealogy: all descendants in male line; Parental: all offspring in both male and female line. The overview above shows that the word genealogy also has a limited meaning: that of an overview of all descendants in the male line. Genealogical Resources: Historical sources are important for genealogical research. These sources can be, for example: Personal data: Personal cards and personal lists Baptism, marriage and burial registers (church records, "DTB" for short) The Civil Registry (birth, marriage and death registers) The Population Register Memories of Succession Notarial archives Alderman Archives Prayer cards Incidentally, it can be concluded that the collected data becomes more interesting as it is supplemented with personal documentation such as family photos and driving licenses, which provides more dimension. DNA research: Processing genealogical data Once genealogical data has been collected by asking family members questions, searching for preserved documents and / or photos and the stories behind them, visiting archives, whether physical or on the Internet, these data should be made clear by means of a particular system of ordering. This makes the relationship between the different names visible and at the same time it becomes clear where there are any gaps that can be filled in further. This can of course be done by using pen and paper, but the use of a computer has also made its appearance in the field of genealogy. Incidentally, the computer is ideally suited for processing large numbers of data. To simplify the exchange of data created with genealogy software, a standard file format has been developed, called gedcom (file extension: .ged). There is a wide choice of genealogical software, of course in English but certainly also in Dutch, both paid and free, from very simple to very complex. Aldfaer is a free program in Dutch. Another widely used program is Pro-Gen. To determine or confirm the possible relationship between persons, the researcher can currently enlist the help of DNA research. The DNA of persons from the same ancestors will be more similar than the DNA of unrelated persons. The mitochondrial DNA is only passed on through the mother and is thus a source to investigate maternal lineage. The Y chromosome is DNA that is only passed on through a paternal route. Publishing genealogical data: After compiling the data, there is often a desire to publish the findings, either in print or on the Internet. There are printers that specialize in small editions, where family books can be printed. But the most common form of publication since the advance of computers and the Internet is of course the homepage / website, both from an organization or archive as well as the personal home pages. This again led to the need to create overview sites, portals and special search engines exclusively for making the many genealogical data accessible. When publishing genealogical research, the researcher must be aware of informal legal aspects, such as the public nature of data, and the safeguarding of the privacy of persons who are still alive. Genealogical societies in the Netherlands: Since the last quarter of the nineteenth century, many different genealogical-heraldic associations have been established in the Netherlands. The main national associations from both the past and the present are: The Central Bureau for Genealogy (1945-) publishes a quarterly magazine "Genealogy" in addition to the Yearbook; The "Royal Netherlands Society for Sex and Heraldry" (1883-) with the organ "De Nederlandsche Leeuw"; The "Nederlandsch Verbond voor Sibbekunde" (1941-1944). She published the magazine "Sibbe"; The "Dutch Genealogical Society" (1945-). She publishes the magazine "Gens Nostra"; The Association "De Nederlandsche Heraut" (1881-1897) with an eponymous magazine during those years. The computer and genealogy association "HCC! Genealogie" (1986-). She publishes the magazine Gens Humana and a member CD with genealogical data from and by the members. In addition, the following national periodicals were published: The Algemeen Nederlandsch Familieblad (1883-1895 and 1900-1905). The Navorscher (1851-1960). The Herald of Arms (1897-1920). Genealogy as a philosophical method: In a metaphorical sense, one speaks of genealogy as a historical method, which focuses on current views (for example with regard to morality, psychiatry, sexual orientation, personal identity) and shows and analyzes the historical origins of these views. Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault are well-known philosophers who conducted genealogical research. See also Nietzsche's genealogy. For Foucault's influential interpretation of Nietzsche, see: Nietzsche, genealogy, historiography.
