their web site and an "Ask the Library" button in their top navigation
links.

If the Pope can abolish Limbo, then can't he abolish/alter Luke's genealogy of Jesus?
answers1: Except for a few Catholics, NOBODY cares one bit about what
the pope does. <br>
<br>
He only speaks for Catholics. <br>
<br>
He does NOT speak for Christians in toto. And, he has NO authority to
change the Bible. <br>
<br>
Go in peace. <br>
<br>
And, always remember: -- Jesus loves you!! <br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
Uncle Floyd <br>
JESUS IS LORD!!
answers2: no it is not tradition <br>
<br>
it is put down in the actual greek text of the bible <br>
<br>
the catholics or the popes did not make it up <br>
<br>
<br>
luke's genealogy is genuine <br>
<br>
the catholic church and the pope did not write the bible. <br>
<br>
god gave his message to luke who wrote the words
answers3: The Pope never abolished Limbo. You need to get your facts
straight before you spout.
answers4: There is no reason to abolish Luke's genealogy. Neither
Luke's nor Matthew's genealogies are neccesary for salvation. <br>
<br>
If you believe as I do that Matthew's genealogy is a later emendation,
it is even less relevant. I believe that Matthew's genealogy
originally went: <br>
<br>
Mat 1:1 ¶ The book of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. <br>
<br>
Mat 1:18 ¶ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
answers5: Jesus abolished the place of the dead and opened the gates
of Heaven. Now you either go to Heaven , Purgatory or Hell.
answers6: lol. How can a mere man abolish what was never no such
thing in the first place? ;)
answers7: He didn't "abolish" a doctrinal belief. He simply
emphasized the fact that Limbo had never been a doctrinal teaching of
the Catholic Church. Neither the Pope nor anyone else can change a
doctrine of the Church, for unlike the beliefs of manmade Protestant
churches, the beliefs of the true Christian Church come from God
Himself, who guaranteed their truthfulness, telling the leaders of His
Church, and no-one else, "the Holy Spirit will guide you into all
truth", and "whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in Heaven", and
"he who hears you hears Me".
answers8: The Pope did not abolish limbo. <br>
<br>
The Church has pondered the suggestion of Limbo for a few hundred
years and has decided that it is not a good idea. Limbo was never
official doctrine. <br>
<br>
Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole
creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark
16:15-16) <br>
<br>
For centuries, people have wondered about children who died before
they were baptized. The Bible does not explicitly state that they will
go to heaven. <br>
<br>
Limbo was suggested as the place where unbaptized babies went when
they died. This idea was never official Church doctrine and has been
rejected. <br>
<br>
The Church now says that it is not sure what happens to unbaptized
babies when they die but she entrusts them to the mercy of God. <br>

<br>
With love in Christ.
answers9: what in the world are you babbling about??? limbo was NEVER
doctrine of the church. <br>
are you daft.... Mary is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth. read the
bible - the REAL one.
answers10: Pope is a nut case and might just do it, if you tempt him.
the pope does. <br>
<br>
He only speaks for Catholics. <br>
<br>
He does NOT speak for Christians in toto. And, he has NO authority to
change the Bible. <br>

Are there any reputable on line genealogy searches?
answers1: ancestry.com
answers2: Yes. ancestry.com and the genealogy site sponsored by the
LDS church <br>
<br>
I was able to use both to verify information about my boyfriend's
family tree from stuff that one of his great-uncles had typed up from
way back in 1967. I was able to find the actual ship manifest for the
first of his family to come to America...way back in the 1880s. He was
pretty excited about that. <br>
<br>
I was also able to find stuff about my family as well. Amazing what
you can find if you know how to look. <br>
<br>
and if you use it at a public library, it's FREE!

What is meant by Genealogy? Draw achart indicating tree tips?
answers1: Genealogy is the study of one's ancestry, not necessarily
the chart you can make.
answers2: Trees and/or charts depending on how you use the terms, are
tools used to visually display names and possibly some basic facts
related to a family. Most trees only show an individual and several
generations of their direct ancestors, which is why many genealogists
prefer to use reports that can include far more data, including
siblings, adoptions, steps, etc. Some people go more of a family
history route, augmenting their reports with multimedia - photos, news
clippings, video or sound clips, etc. that show more of their
ancestors lives.
answers3: familysearch.org is a free site. <br>
Simply register and follow the easy instructions for creating your
family tree. <br>
They have free charts, which you can print, for paper copies of your
research. <br>
You will need a blank, formatted CD, to store your research on, as
familysearch.com does not store your tree on-line. <br>
<br>
There are too many different types of charts to draw one of each here. <br>
I prefer the lateral ancestral chart, and occassionally, the
descending outline tree, depending on the amount of info I need to
record and the purpose of the tree. <br>
<br>
Find one that works for you and enjoy "filling in the blanks ". <br>
<br>
answers4: Get a large sheet of paper and put your name and any sibling
across the bottom. <br>
Draw a line up from yourself to your parents, say, your name is Fred <br>
Smith. <br>
31Jan1995 <br>
St.Georges, London <br>
John Smith = Jane Jones <br>
b. ? [ b. ? <br>
where ? [ where ? <br>
Fred Smith <br>
b. 01Jan1996 <br>
Hammersmith, London <br>
<br>
Repeat this upwards for each of your parents so that you can display
your grandparents' details. <br>
You can add other info, such as date and place of baptisms, jobs,
dates of death, where buried, if there a Memorial Inscription, etc.
<br>
Unfortunately, I can't display this accurately, your line should go to
the plus sign. <br>
Ask relatives for details about the family while you still have them
to pass on the information.
answers5: The family tree chart is easy. You should be able to
download one for free on line. It is self explanatory. Yes the family
tree and genealogy is your ancestors.
answers6: Genealogy is the study of ones family history. There is far
more to genealogy than charts I'm afraid. <br>
Hope this helps.

Are there any good but free websites for research on genealogy?
answers1: There are over 400,000 free genealogy sites. There are also,
at last count, 2500+ questions with the word "free" in them in the
resolved questions in this category. At least 1500 of them ask the
same question you did. <br>
<br>
I have links to some huge ones, below, but you'll have to wade through
some advice and warnings first. <br>
<br>
If you didn't mention a country, we can't tell if you are in the USA,
UK, Canada or Australia. I'm in the USA and my links are for it. <br>
<br>
If you are in the USA, <br>
AND most of your ancestors were in the USA, <br>
AND you can get to a library or FHC with census access, <br>
AND you are white <br>
Then you can get most of your ancestors who were alive in 1850 with
100 - 300 hours of research. You can only get to 1870 if you are
black, sadly. Many young people stop reading here and pick another
hobby. <br>
<br>
No web site is going to tell you how your great grandparents decorated
the Christmas tree with ornaments cut from tin foil during the
depression, how Great Uncle Elmer wooed his wife with a banjo, or how
Uncle John paid his way through college in the 1960's by smuggling
herbs. Talk to your living relatives before it is too late. <br>
<br>
You won't find living people on genealogy sites. You'll have to get
back to people living in 1930 or so by talking to relatives, looking
up obituaries and so forth. <br>
<br>
Finally, not everything you read on the internet is true. You have to
be cautious and look at people's sources. Cross-check and verify.
<br>
<br>
So much for the warnings. Here is the main link. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.tedpack.org/yagenlinks.html"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.tedpack.org/yagenlinks.html</a>
<br>
<br>
That page has links, plus tips and hints on how to use the sites, for
a dozen huge free sites. Having one link here in the answer and a
dozen links on my personal site gets around two problems. First, Y!A
limits us to 10 links in an answer. Second, if one or more of the
links are popular, I get "We're taking a breather" when I try to post
the answer. This is a bug introduced sometime in August 2008 with the
"new look". <br>
<br>
You will need the tips. Just for instance, most beginners either put
too much data into the RWWC query page, or they mistake the Ancestry
ads at the top for the query form. I used to teach a class on Internet
Genealogy at the library. I watched the mistakes beginners made. The
query forms on the sites are NOT intuitive.
answers2: My favorite site is http://www.cyndislist.com/
answers3: I like Ancestry.Com for the amount of records they have
online. However, you shouldn't depend solely on websites. Also you
have to distinguish between the records they have obtained and their
subscriber submitted family trees. Information in family trees on any
website, free or fee, must be viewed cautiously. You will see
different information on the same people from many different
subscribers. Then you will see the same info on the same people from
different subscribers, but that doesn't mean that the information is
correct at all. Too many people copy without verifying. A lot of
people in online family trees are too anxious to see how many names
they can add to their database and into their tree that having a good
verifiable family tree is not all that important. <br>
<br>
If you find Ancestry.Com too pricey, your public library might have a
subscription to it you can use for free. Actually, it might be wise to
use it for free at your library to get use to it. When I go into their
website, I prefer to go under "Old Search" which is on a peach colored
bar across the top as I can pick out specific records I want to check.
No way are all records online but the ones you will find will save you
time and money. <br>
<br>
Ancestry.Com has transcribed the records but you can view original
images. There are errors in their transcriptions, particularly
censuses, but when you view the original you will have pity on the
transcribers. <br>
<br>
Here is a link to FamilySeach.org(free site) records. They are
transcribing and putting a lot of records online: <br>
<br>
<a href="http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsear…"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsear...</a>
<br>
<br>
Don't expect to find information on living people in genealogy
websites as that can be an invasion of privacy and can lead to
identity theft and can also provide too much information for stalkers.
<br>
<br>
If you haven't done so you should get as much information from living
family as possible, particularly from family bibles, birth, marriage
and death certificates and depending on their religious faith,
baptismal, first communion, confirmation and marriage certificates
from their church. <br>
<br>
Also check out a Family History Center at a Latter Day Saints(Mormon)
Church. They have records on people all over the world, not just
Mormons. In Salt Lake City, they have the world's largest genealogical
collection. Their FHCs can order microfilm for you to view for about
$3. <br>
I have never had them to try and convert me nor have I heard of them
doing that to anyone else that has used their resources. Just visit
their free website, FamilySearch.org, to get the hours for the general
public to the nearest Mormon FHC. <br>
<br>
Here is a link with links to 50 other websites, some free and some
fee. I feel the ones that only have family trees are a waste of time.
Information in other's family trees can be helpful as clues as to
where to get the documentation. <br>
