A sedimentation rate is performed by measuring the rate at which red blood cells (RBCs) settle in a test tube. The RBCs become sediment in the bottom of the test tube over time, leaving the blood serum visible above. The classic sedimentation rate is simply how far the top of the RBC layer has fallen (in millimeters) in one hour.
The scope of genealogy, however, goes well beyond family trees; extending into areas of law, technology, event planning and medicine. Hiring a genealogist can be costly, so you must conduct your own research before hiring someone to do research on your behalf.
One name is all it takes to start your family tree. But the more you add, the better we can help youâevery name is another piece of the story. Look for the leaf. Very soon, leaves will begin to appear on your family treeâthese are Ancestry Hints. And each one is a potential discovery. Follow the leaves and watch your family tree grow.
