Help me with my dissertation?

[Marie]

Hi - not sure how to get permission to post inviting members to
participate in a survey. I'm currently stuyding for a PG Dip in
Genealogical Studies at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow and as
part of this I am researching what motivates people to take their
interest in genealogy further - focussing on genealogy courses.
Information is available from my course director.

Is there a protocol for me to follow? I'm keen to involve members of
groups I belong to and can post a link to the survey if this is
appropriate.

Thanks,

Marie

Hi Marie,

I don't know about the group's protocols, but I'd be interested in your
project. I don't know whether what I have to offer would be useful, I've
been doing family history for about 25 years now and 8 years ago completed a
Masters Degree by thesis, not in a genealogical subject so I have some
research experience.

Let me know if I can help.

regards
Kaye Cole

Hi Marie,

You don't really need permission to ask people to participate in a survey so
long as it's of a genealogical nature and can help someone, at least not on
this list. If it wasn't to do with genealogy, then I'm the person you'd
have to ask. I began this group at a time in my life when I shouldn't have,
and it has been extremely ignored by me which is something I never meant to
do and intend correcting from now on.

I would be interested in spewaking with your course director off list as I
am working on a number of possible genealogy projects here in Ireland.

I am the admin/creator of another list which has more members than this
particualar list and where you may find a larger proportion of people
intersted in answering your questions - on which, I have probably asked all
the same questions as you will and for which I have the answers already.

That list has in theory 2000+ members and is located at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-IRL/

It is, one of the largest general Irish Genealogy groups on the internet

Jane - thanks for your reply. I have tried to post to the Y-IRL list,
of which I have been a member for a couple of years and also sent an
email to you to the address listed on there. Perhaps this didn't reach
you? I know the message has to be approved - so perhaps it's in a
queue somewhere!

Anyway, I'm delighted that you are interested in my survey - I'm
enclosing the details here,and this includes the contact details of my
course director - Bruce Durie.

I tend to stay in Abbeyleix when I visit Ireland on my ancestor trails
- so will certainly call at the Heritage Centre next time and maybe
say hello. I will actually be in Dublin on business on Thursday and
Friday, but not sure if I will get to Co Laois at the weekend (might
have to come home to deal with teenage/student children!)


Here is the info:
My name is Marie Dougan and I am carrying out some research on what
motivates people to undertake further study in the area of genealogy.

This research is part of a Post Graduate Diploma in Genealogical
Studies at the University of Strathclyde. If you would like
confirmation of this, please contact Dr Bruce Durie, Course Director,
Genealogical Studies, University of Strathclyde, CLL - Level 7, 40
George Street, Glasgow G1 1QE, Scotland
Email: bruce...@strath.ac.uk

Any information gathered will be used solely for the purposes of this
research. You will not be personally identified. You will not be
contacted for any other purpose, unless you specifically request this.

The University of Strathclyde is a charitable body, registered in
Scotland, number SC015263.

Responses to the questions which follow will be collated to provide an
overall set of data to assist me in my research.
I can be contacted at marie....@strath.ac.uk.

The questions should not take any more than 15 minutes to complete.
Thank you very much for your co-operation

Let me know if you need any more info. Happy to discuss results etc.
