Genealogy: Orville Llwellyan Jack

I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here with the goal of eventually creating a linked family tree on Hive.
Often when an individual is still alive or recently deceased they will still be included in public family trees but details will be omitted. That appears to be the case with this individual. His father was born in 1905 and died in 2006 while his mother was born in 1907 and died in 1946. That means he was probably born in the 1930-1940 time range give or take a couple of years. However, the source this individual's info comes from only has his name listed. With living individuals, often even the first name is omitted for privacy reasons.
The above chart is an ancestor chart from Gramps out to four generations. According to Gramps, Orville Llwellyan Jack is my seventh cousin twice removed.
I use GenoPro to maintain my family tree but I use other programs to generate reports/web pages. Gramps is open source software for Windows, Linux and MacOS that I have been using to generate static HTML reports and is what the info you see below is based on. I also use its relationship calculator functionality as noted above. I've also been 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 a web server, PHP and mySQL. Mostly I've been playing around with TNG which is excellent (except for maybe the awkwardly long name) but I'll get back to GedSite eventually, really I will. I actually like TNG so much I have contemplated to just using that as my only reporting software. However, there are a couple of reasons why I probably won't. First, it's "closed source" (though by its nature you can of course see and modify the source) commercial software whereas gramps is open source. Also, Gramps generates pure HTML/Javascript so that it is easy to copy and move around whereas TNG relies on having a database and webserver. While I have been using GenoPro and Gramps for many years, I've only started using TNG and GedSite within the last year.
