[edit] Welcome
Hi Robin,
Thanks for dropping by. This is a small project, with no funding, hence no one to create automated processes. Advantages this site offers include:
- A site dedicated to individuals, not the entire realm of genealogy
- Very limited advertising, hence few distractions
- Standard mediawiki software
- A site limited to information about dead folks:
- living individuals may have a user page, but living folks cannot have bio pages here.
As for family trees, we're still experimenting. Here are a few examples:
Originally, I wanted to keep the pedigrees to a minimum, since I didn't want this to be just another database manager like FamilyTreeMaker. However, as time has progressed, I can see how pedigrees can be useful to navigate in the wiki. I haven't tried to even begin creating an automated process. I'm much more interested in putting solid genealogical information out for folks to see and use.
I hope you find our site useful.
Yours sincerely,
