ACTIVITY
Use the ANCESTORS’ homepage on the Internet
Using the Internet is a powerful way to get access to information from around the world. The Internet is made up of thousands of computer databases that are linked together, and can be accessed through the telephone. Each database is the home for a specific kind of information, and each database has an address where it is located on the internet. The information available in a database is introduced and explained on what is referred to as a homepage.
In this activity, you will:
Be accessing the ANCESTOR’S homepage on the Internet (pictured to the right).
Follow a simple program that will show you approximately how frequent your surname is found in each of the fifty states of the U.S.
Have the opportunity to connect with other activities on the ANCESTORS’ homepage.
