  1. African Steamship Company

    Unreferenced date December 2008 The African Steamship Company was a UK British shipping line in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was founded in the middle of the 19th century by Macgregor Laird , the younger son of the shipbuilder William Laird shipbuilder William Laird , and based in Birkenhead . The main focus of the company at first was trading with the Niger River area and other west African ports, bringing west African palm oil back to Britain. The monthly mail steamer to the then Gold Coast British colony Gold Coast now Ghana , appointed by Royal Charter , came with a subsidy of 30,000 pounds sterling per year from the British government , starting from 1852. The company proved sufficiently successful that in 1869 a rival company, the British and African Steam Navigation Company, was founded, but both companies later came to an arrangement on sailing times. The business of the African Steamship company was purchased by Elder, Dempster and Company, Limited in 1891, who had bought the British and African Steam Navigation Company two years earlier, although both companies continued operating as distinct organisations. Further expansion began with a transatlantic crossing transatlantic route using large cargo vessels, trading from Liverpool to the St Lawrence River and from Liverpool to the southern ports of the USA . A later route from Bristol to St Lawrence was also established. The company also diversified into a number of businesses related to the trade, including a bank, oil mills for processing the palm oil, a hotel in Grand Canary for tourists, and a fruit brokerage in London to deal with the banana trade. Trade with the West Indies began in 1901, with a direct, fortnightly service from Avonmouth to Jamaica , subsidised by the Colonial Office . As part of Elder Dempster, the company was bought by Sir Owen Philipp s Royal Mail Group in 1909. Category Defunct shipping companies of the United Kingdom ...   more details

  1. African Company of Merchants

    The African Company of Merchants was a Chartered Company in the Gold Coast British Colony Gold Coast area of modern Ghana , in the coastal area where the Fante people lived.

In 1817 the Company had signed a treaty of friendship that recognized Asante Empire Asante claims to sovereignty over large areas of the coast, including areas claimed by the Fante. The Company was abolished in 1821, as the slave trade had not been suppressed in these privately held areas.

  1. Cosmic ancestry

    Refimprove date January 2008 Cosmic ancestry is a hypothesis of the origin of life on Earth, based on the panspermia views of Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe and further developed by Brig Klyce. It incorporates strong panspermia, the Gaia hypothesis and the premise that life has no primary origin. History Hoyle was a long standing advocate of strong panspermia. He claimed with Wickramasinghe that spectral analysis of interstellar dust indicated that large organic molecules and even bacterial spores occur in space. ref F. Hoyle and C. Wickramasinghe. On the Nature of Interstellar Grains p 77 90 v 66 Astrophysics and Space Science. 1979 ref He also viewed natural selection and mutation as too weak a mechanism to drive evolutionary progress. ref F. Hoyle, Mathematics of Evolution p 97 109 ISBN 0 9669934 0 3 Memphis Acorn Enterprises LLC, 1999 ref Moreover, his belief in a quasi steady state universe allowed him to consider the possibility that life was much older than orthodox cosmology would allow.

  1. Rule of 1/1000 common ancestry

    orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date November 2008 The Rule of 1 1000 common ancestry is a criterion used to create meaningful family groupings. It was first adopted by Lawrence Kestenbaum to determine which individuals should be included with specific political families on the Political Graveyard website. The rule can be made applicable to other genealogy projects. Definition The rule states that only persons sharing 1 1000 common ancestry should be grouped together as an extended family. Application For lineal ancestors, this can be approximated by 10th degree consanguinity . The reason this is approximate, and not exact, is that common ancestry is halved every time the degree of consanguinity is increased by one. For example the degree of consanguinity of a parent is one. This means that a parent provides 1 2 1 or 1 2 of a persons ancestry the other parent provides the other half . A 7th great grandparent has a 9th degree consanguinity, and therefore providing 1 2 9 or 1 512 common ancestry. An 8th great grandparent provides 1 1024 common ancestry which is as close as one can come to 1 1000, and so this is the cutoff used. For collateral relatives, 1 1000 common ancestry can be approximated by 10th degree consanguinity for relationships derived through half siblings and 11th degree consanguinity for relationships derived through full siblings. For example, siblings share 100 common ancestry, as they share 2 common parents 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 . Half siblings share 50 common ancestry. 8th great aunt uncles can also be called 7th great grand aunt uncles 1st cousins 7x removed 2nd cousins 5x removed 3rd cousins 3x removed and 4th cousins once removed are all at the 1 1024th common ancestry levels, and therefore used as the cutoffs. Complicating factors such as pedigree collapse can increase the percentage of common ancestry to a higher number than it would be otherwise ...
