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.
This is yet another individual that is far enough back that the only way you'll find him in a family tree is if there is a royal relationship somewhere. I can tell from my family tree structure that this person is a direct ancestor through my great-great-grandfather's mother on my father's side. Not sure exactly how many generations back as I am too lazy to try to count and the Gramps relationship calculator doesn't seem to want to do more than about 27 generations or so without hanging. Anyway, other than dates, I haven't collected a whole lot of info on William de Ratclyffe except to note that he was High Sheriff of Lancaster.
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 but I'll get back to GedSite eventually.
I actually like TNG enough that I have contemplated just using that as my only reporting software. However, there are a few reasons why I probably won't. First, it's "closed source" commercial software whereas Gramps is open source. Second, Gramps generates pure HTML/Javascript so that it is easy to copy and move around whereas TNG relies on having a database and web server. Finally, it's easier to extract data out of for adding here, for example. While I have been using GenoPro and Gramps for many years, I've only started using TNG and GedSite within the last year or so. I kind of want to get back to exploring GedSite more but it's such a pain to shift gears like that...
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations from Gramps. The chart at the bottom is a descendancy chart out to four generations as produced by TNG. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.
