The importance of the 1870 U. S. Census to African-American research - 0 views
-
When the 1860 federal census was collected and enumerated, slavery was still legal within most of the states south of the Mason-Dixon line. The 1860 federal census enumerated only free people of color in its population schedule; slaves were enumerated namelessly on a separate schedule, identified only by slave owner, age, gender, and color.

This article is part of a continuing series looking at each federal census individually. Please read the others in the archives of this column. The 1870 U. S. Census was the Ninth Decennial Census.

Case study for Y-DNA testing in NGSQ - 0 views
-
On 20 October 2009, this column addressed the topic of Y-DNA testing for genealogical purposes. This relatively new development in science holds revolutionary potential for genealogy, especially African-American research. The most recent issue of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly (Sep 2009) contains the case study of an African-American family where Y-DNA testing revealed direct male line European ancestry.[1]

'Censuses' in between the censuses - 0 views
-
This column previously addressed the importance of the 1870 U. S. census in African-American research. As noted in that article, this was the first federal census after the end of the Civil War, and therefore the first record group to record personal information about former slaves nationwide. It was not, however, the earliest record group to do so in many localities. Many similar record groups were created that provide information about former slaves between 1865 and 1870.
Importance of Microinjection to develop Transgenic Organism - 0 views

Microinjection is an active method for creating transgenic animals. This method described below is geared towards generating transgenic animals, during the process of genetic transformation. Transgenic animals are defined as animals in which new or altered genes have been experimentally inserted into their genome by genetic engineering techniques. They are routinely used in the laboratory as a model in Bio-medical research.
