About Pemberton Family History
This portion of the Pemberton Family World Wide is probably the most enjoyable of all because it contains the things that make life interesting, exciting, and challenging. It also contains stories that are heart breaking, stories of victory and defeat, crime and punishment, joy and sorrow. Those are the things life is made of and they are the things of which this section of the web site are made. It is our wish that every Pemberton may someday find this site and revel in the integrity, honour, fortitude, and tenacity of the Pemberton clan, and that Pemberton youth especially may find here models and heroes by which to pattern their lives as they deal with those critical decisions that all youth are forced to make.
The Family History section of this website is populated by submissions from members of the PFWW. It's easy to add yours. Join in the fun.
Family History and Genealogy
Genealogy is that part of history that exhibits links between people. One of the major projects of the PFWW is the extraction and publication of this kind of Pemberton Family History. To assist the genealogists in the family, we are publishing this data in an unusual way. We process the data and create a GEDCOM file that then populates the "Extractions Tree" in our genealogy storehouse. The names in the data are tagged with codes that make the nature of the data clear. Here is an example:
The result of this type of presentation of genealogical data is very exciting. Your author at the moment is also the bloke who wrote the programs to present the data in this fashion. He had been working on his Pemberton line in Cheshire for some time. While checking his programming work, he decided, just out of curiosity, to look for the Pembertons near Nantwich, Cheshire, England, particularly in the village of Stapeley. He did a search for Sarah, a common name in his line, and found several in the parish of Wybunbury. Then he noticed, for the first time (he has been looking at and sorting this data for a full year) a residence named Stapley Cross. He clicked on the little magnifying glass next to the residence and was thrilled to see several Pembertons in that residence, all with Christian names common to his line.
When you search in the PFWW genealogy storehouse, you must be sure to use these wonderful cross linked search functions to navigate and slice the data in new and revealing ways! For more information on the Extraction Tree, select "Pemberton Genealogy" from the "Genealogy" menu on the left.
Historical Data Quality
Now truth is stranger than fiction, they say, and it is certainly the more exciting and interesting. To that end, the PFWW Historian will do his best to assure that stories, biographies, photos, documents, and any other artifacts published here are truthful, accurate and fairly portrayed. There is also a need for discretion in what things are published. No one wants to read or see something only to regret it.
One of the ways we control quality is by limiting submissions to those who have authority to submit items. This is provided for in the By-Laws where the administrative offices of Author and Publisher are defined. It is not difficult for any member to become an Author. He only has to apply for that privilege with the Secretary or Historian and state what kinds of submissions he wants to make. Submissions by Authors are subject to review by the Secretary or Historian and if found to be undesirable for any reason, the Author will be notified of the difficulty and given opportunity to edit or withdraw the submission.
