Abstract:

The folklore found within a nuclear or extended family tends to be transmitted from parents and grandparents to children. By using genealogy, the researcher may trace traditions back through a family tree and determine their origins. The author identified four groups of descendents of David Hicks, Sr., whose geographic separation enabled him to trace the origins of their traditions by comparing likenesses and differences between them.

Abstract:

Karyn Traut, a playwright and adjunct assistant professor of social medicine, researched descendants of Thomas Jefferson for a play she wanted to write. It was unclear whether Thomas Jefferson fathered a child with his slave Sally Hemings, or if the father was his brother, Randolph. After consulting numerous Jefferson scholars, the legitimate father remains unknown.
