Genealogy; Bridging The Gap, Tracing your lineages, the cheapest, fastest, & easy way. By Jenny Cameron. Reviews: “This sent chills down my spine as I do believe you have discovered the true roots of my maternal grandfather!!” “You are so amazing with all the ancestry information you find out.” Contents Introduction Finding the right ‘MO’ (method of operation) Structured MO Bearings Approach Sourcing Tracing Align About the author Introduction This guidebook was written with the purpose to provide a workable methodology towards your need to ‘bridge the gap’ in genealogy research and, tracing back your ancestral family roots. Just to introduce myself, a certified business analyst professional with an interest in the application of research, and ancestry history. So far, I have spent four years of my time navigating different websites, forums, and approaches to various platforms as my data mining processes. My main overall purpose throughout was to keep the financial costs down, my time invested over navigating around for data to a minimum possible, managing my time by bypassing any process waste time can consume, and how best to simplify the process along the way for a workable ease of obtaining knowledge ‘sourcing’. Here are my tips that I am passing along to you, I hope you will find this guidebook helpful and that it did serve the purpose to meet your needs of low cost, time saving, and adoption of a structed process with ease. Lets’ get started, but best get started after reading my guide in full here. Finding the right ‘MO’ (method of operation) Adopting and using the right ‘MO’ from the start will help you trace, maintain and prioritise for the development of a solution throughout your journey and, when you must retire upon reaching a dead end. Yes, that is right, you may reach a dead end, and I plan to help you NOT to have invested 80% of your time, to reach 20% of probability meeting your goal when instead you went down a rabbit hole, it can happen, I have been there, but not too often because I adopted the MO and stuck with it. Perhaps you will retire from the process once the need is met. Firstly, we need to have a shared understanding of what is a ‘need’? What are your needs throughout this journey? And always, always, refer back to this need as your ‘Bearings’ which I will explain further under the chapter Bearings. A need is when you have a problem or an opportunity to be addressed. There is a requirement that you trace back your ancestry to further understand your identity, to connect with other distant relatives, or to respond to a need to complete your family tree, or to obtain value that is the importance or usefulness it may provide you. The ‘journey’ is the process you will undertake as you navigate around your ‘Structured MO’, as you continue through the development of a solution and ends when a solution has presented itself. The ‘Structured MO’ is a cycle of steps that I advise you to use, I will explain this further in the chapter Structured MO.

Process-tracing in social science is a method for studying causal mechanisms linking causes with outcomes. This enables the researcher to make strong inferences about how a cause (or set of causes) contributes to producing an outcome. Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen introduce a refined definition of process-tracing, differentiating it into three distinct variants and explaining the applications and limitations of each. The authors develop the underlying logic of process-tracing, including how one should understand causal mechanisms and how Bayesian logic enables strong within-case inferences. They provide instructions for identifying the variant of process-tracing most appropriate for the research question at hand and a set of guidelines for each stage of the research process.

Ten Steps to Complex Learning presents a path from an educational problem to a solution in a way that students, design practitioners, and researchers can understand and easily use. Students in the fields of instructional design and the learning sciences can use this book to broaden their knowledge of the design of training programs for complex learning. Practitioners can use this book as a reference guide to support their design of courses, curricula, or environments for complex learning. Driven by the acclaimed Four-Component Instructional Design (4C/ID) model, this fourth edition of Ten Steps to Complex Learning is fully revised with the latest research, featuring over 50 new references. The entire book has been updated for clarity, incorporating new colorful graphics and diagrams, and the guiding example used throughout the book is replaced with a training blueprint for the complex skill of “producing video content.” The closing chapter explores the future development of the Ten Steps, discussing changes in teacher roles and the influence of artificial intelligence.
