To Do

1. Highlight adoption edges in the graphs. Try to have Gephi highlight or color those separately.
2. Do a closeness centrality measure, which will show how the generations flow into connectedness along with the connected components. (maybe only using the largest connected component)
3. Remove civil marriages from the graphs
   • See eternity sealings separately, see time sealings separately
4. Use relatively prime numbers for the weights of the edges so that when they get combined, it’s easy to see how they break apart / what they stand for
5. Try sizing nodes in graph by degree
6. Double check that the AQ list is still up-to-date with the new entries? May need to update the IDs in the list to reflect any new AQ members chosen (like Zina has been changed, then changed back and NK Whitney has two IDs).

Discussion

• What do the adoptions do? It doesn’t seem to make a difference on our connected components.
• What’s the weight of ecclesiastical office for a tribe?
  • Kathleen wants multiple offices for a person at any given point in time
  • Distribution graph of offices held per clan/tribe per date
  • Stacked distribution of offices held per clan per date, showing multiple clans on the distribution.
• How power operates in the system. An eternity view (marriages only for eternity) vs how it looks in time (in our time)
  • Lineage flow of the marriages where you can choose either to use Adoptions as from-line vs Birth Parents as from-line
    • Only use the first adoption in this case
• Could we shade parts of the graph for tribes, or something?
• What she is searching for:
  • Criteria for the mating(s)?
    • How did they choose all these wives?
    • Did they choose immigrants specifically for safety?
    • Are there patterns in the choices of wives?
  • Affects of the mating(s)?
    • What does a sealing do to affect the tribe? Do her brothers come in because of it?
    • Do we see when the patriarch of that node adds a wife, what kinds of families are being added to him? What other clans are being joined?
    • How does that affect the organization of the overland trails and what companies are formed?
    • Ex: If a Young marries a Hendrix, so Young joins with Hendrix, and we see one of the Hendrix’s clan become a leader in a company of 100? (I missed what she said completely)
• If looking at offices, include time and eternity sealings to build clans. Would need to see them separately and together, just to see if they show different things.
