=== AFO's and Special Extraction Projections === | |||
In 2011, the Osmond Family Organization and [http://www.broughfamily.org Brough Family Organization] successfully participated in and completed a Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP). | |||
Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP) acquires online genealogical data (from the four sources mentioned below) on individuals having the same (or similar) surname in a designated geographical area, then inputs all such names and their associated dates and places of births, christenings, marriages, deaths and burials into a PAF-style (and GEDCOM friendly) database. Once this database has been compiled, then analysis, screening and merging tools are used to match and link individuals together into related families and larger ancestral lineages. | |||
The online genealogical sources used by SIRP included: 1) LDS Ancestral File, Pedigree Research File, International Genealogical Index (IGI), and New Family Search; 2) Available online Government Indexes of Births, Marriages, Deaths and Burials; 3) Available online Name Indexes and Databases from commercial sites such as Ancestry.com and FindMyPast.com; 4) Available GEDCOM files from known and reliable Family Members and Related Individuals. | |||
During the first half of 2011, the Osmond Family Organization and Brough Family Organization used SIRP methodologies to compile a database of over hundreds of "Osmond" and "Brough" surnamed individuals who had lived in New Zealand between 1800 and 2000. Subsequent analysis, screening and merging of the database resulted in the rapid identification of numerous linked individuals and multiple family lineages. | |||
