摘要
近十年来,互联网上兴起了不少协助人们寻根认祖和编纂电子族谱的网站,互联网特有的数据储存和超文本链接功能,使电子族谱的编纂过程与传统纸本族谱的编纂过程有一定的差异。本文利用这些网站提供的资料,辅以访问所得的事例,尝试理解族谱编纂者编修族谱的动机、方法和标准;并探讨在交通发达、资讯流通的21世纪中,城市人建构宗族联系的活动与过去乡村社会同类活动的异同。
There have been a large number of web sites helping people trace their ancestors and compile their genealogies, especially on the World Wide Web(WWW)since 1990s. The vast amount of data are available and the hypertext-link function used on the web determines the nature of electronic genealogies, which is deemed to be very different from that of hand-written or printed genealogies. Making use of the data available on WWW and that collected at a personal interview, the author attempts to gain a better understanding of the motives behind, and the methods and criteria involved in the compilation of genealogies in the age of internet. The paper also asks what improvement in transportation and communication might have affected the kinship construction effort made by urban-dwellers in the 21st century.
