Genealogy: Omri Bray Autry (1899-1981)

I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here.
This individual dates back to the beginning of the 20th century which often isn't a terribly difficult era to search. However, if we are talking about someone born in the U.S., the quality of records available can vary quite a bit from state to state and sometime records were even destroyed (such as a random courthouse burning down with all records inside). There were generally no "backups". Many individuals can also be found in census records which gives you useful information like who else is living in the household and where parents were born.
Whether I'm picking individuals to research more or to post here, I'm often picking them at random. The original info for this individual came from World Connect. I decided to look them up on FamilySearch and found various census records, World War I records and more.
Gramps calculates this individual to be my sixth cousin, three times removed.
I'm still exploring GedSite, a program that takes a gedcom file and converts it into html and The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding which is web based and requires a setup with apache (or other webserver), php and mysql. Mostly I've been playing around with TNG but I'll get back to GedSite eventually. When it comes to converting this stuff to web pages, every piece of software available seems to have advantages and disadvantages and it is hard to settle on just one. One of the things I like about TNG is how you can easily switch between different chart styles. I've shown a bunch of different ancestor chart styles already and I'll show some others soon. As soon as I pick an individual with a decent number of descendants, I'll start showing some of the descendant charts. The above chart is an ancestor chart from Gramps.
