Increasing Awareness And Skills Regarding Ukrainian Family History, Daniel Blomberg, Thom Edlund Jan 2014

Increasing Awareness And Skills Regarding Ukrainian Family History, Daniel Blomberg, Thom Edlund

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The former Russian Empire is one of the most challenging places to do family history research in the world. One of the reasons is related to the fact that the records used to locate genealogical data depend on political and ecclesiastical boundaries. For example, a Christian man living in a village without a church will be baptized, married and buried in a village different from his hometown. Thus, it is not only necessary to know one’s ancestor’s place(s) of residence, but the place(s) where he or she was civilly registered, attended religious services, was married, etc. Due to the colorful …

Moving Panamanian History Into The Twenty-First Century: Putting The Belisario Porras Collection On-Line, Caryj Mouritsen Cherry, Thomas L. Pearcy

Journal of Undergraduate Research

As we saw in 1997 with the return of Hong Kong to mainland China, great international interest arises over the transferral of ownership rights from one country to another. Attention surged around the history surrounding the British occupation of Hong Kong and the decisions that both Britain and China effected in order to come to this momentous occasion. In the case of Hong Kong, thousands watched and wondered what the result of the transfer to China would mean to their booming, capitalist economy. On December 31, 1999, the Panama Canal will exchange hands and return to Panamanian control. This event …

Oral History Of The Emergence Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In The Republic Of Slovenia, Bethany Durham, Dr. Blair Holmes Jan 2014

Oral History Of The Emergence Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In The Republic Of Slovenia, Bethany Durham, Dr. Blair Holmes

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Growing up a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah, I never thought it was significant that my ward had its own building to meet in. I never thought it was significant that I belonged to a ward with several hundred active members to meet with. Members of the church in the Republic of Slovenia, however, have a much different experience. The purpose of my project was to document the unique experiences of the pioneer members of the LDS Church in the Republic of Slovenia.
