Research Methods

• Genealogy is the tracking of descendants of a specific individual through historical records.
• Genealogy can be flawed because Family Records can be Lost and Information isn't always going to be accurate (i.e incorrect names/dates).
• Ethnography/Participant Observation is an anthropological research method that involves observing, recording, and analyzing human behavior within its cultural context.
• The goal of Ethnography is to understand how people live their lives by studying them in their natural environment.
