Genealogy: Sara Ann Whitfield (1899-1994)
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. You can see the index here.
Sara Whitfield was born in 1899. This is another individual I consider "modern" as there are lots of records typically available during the time period of this person's life. A recent quick search for this individual revealed several census records and a death certificate easily obtainable on the web.
According to Gramps, Sarah is a fairly distant ancestor being my sixth cousin three times removed though I suppose it's a matter of opinion as to what "close" vs. "distant" means when it comes to genealogy.
I use GenoPro to maintain my family tree but I use other programs to generate reports and web pages. One of those programs, Gramps, is open source software for Windows, Linux and MacOS that I have been using to generate static HTML reports and is what most of the info you see below is based on. I also use its relationship calculator functionality as noted above but I've found it only works back to about 27 generations give or take. I've also been exploring The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) which is web based and requires a setup with a web server, PHP and mySQL. I also purchased GedSite which also generates static HTML reports that I will dig into more eventually.
While Gramps is free, both TNG and GedSite are commercial software so you have to pay for them. I think their price is perfectly reasonable and they are both excellent in their own ways. However, I prefer the open source nature of Gramps and the fact that it generates static HTML makes it easy to work with. I like TNG enough that I will probably keep using it also though. I'll remain undecided on GedSite until I get back to trying it out more though I've liked other sites I've seen generated with it. For now I am generating reports with Gramps and updating TNG on a fairly regular basis (every month or few anyway).
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations from Gramps. The chart at the bottom is the same thing as generated by TNG. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.
