In 2011, the [http://www.broughfamily.org/ Brough Family Organization] and [http://osmondgenetree.com/ Osmond Family Organization] successfully participated in and completed a Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP). | In 2011, the [http://www.broughfamily.org/ Brough Family Organization] and [http://osmondgenetree.com/ Osmond Family Organization] successfully participated in and completed a [http://www.broughfamily.org/research_methods.html Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP).] | ||
Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP) | Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP) is a structured research system used to identify individuals and combine them into family units. In 2011, SIRP was successfully used by two of the world's largest ancestral family organizations to identify and connect hundreds of individuals living in two countries. | ||
SIRP acquires online genealogical data from multiple 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 the following nine sources:<br>1) LDS Ancestral File - still available at some Family History Libraries and/or on earlier (DOS-style computer) disks.<br>2) Pedigree Research File (PRF) - still available at Family History Libraries.<br>3) International Genealogical Index (IGI) - viewable on: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp .<br>4) FamilySearch.org - viewable on: https://familysearch.org .<br>6) New FamilySearch.org - viewable on: https://new.familysearch.org/en/action/unsec/welcome .<br>7) Available online Government Indexes of Births, Marriages, Deaths and Burials, such as the British GRO (for England and Wales) - viewable on: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl ; and the UKBMD Search - viewable on: http://www.ukbmdsearch.org.uk/ .<br>8) Available online Name Indexes and Databases from commercial sites, such as Ancestry.com ; FindMyPast.com ; and Non Conformist & Non Parochial Records - viewable on: http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/user/subscriptions.php . (Access to these three websites are free-of-charge at Family History Libraries throughout the world.)<br>9) Available GEDCOM files from known and reliable Family Members and Related Individuals. | |||
In 2011, the Brough Family Organization (BFO: http://www.broughfamily.org) and Osmond Family Organization (OFO: http://osmondgenetree.com) used SIRP methodologies to compile a database of hundreds of "Brough" and "Osmond" surnamed individuals who had lived from 1800 to the early 1900's in New Zealand and in New South Wales, Australia. Subsequent analysis, screening and merging of the database resulted in the rapid identification of numerous linked individuals and multiple family lineages. | |||
At the present time, the BFO and OFO are applying [http://www.broughfamily.org/research_methods.html SIRP methodologies ]to identify and combine thousands of individuals and their families who lived in the 1800's to the early 1900's in England and Wales.<br> | |||
