New Genealogy Site Live
April 30, 2007
Okay, my new genealogy site is live. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
As stated before, I usually my genealogy website primarily for the display of information. This new site is based on the TNG (The Next Generation) genealogy software. It seems to have a much nicer user interface and more sleeker look. Of course, I have massively tweaked the look for my taste.
My main genealogy tool is Family Tree Maker which I use offline. The data is then uploaded to the site for folks to peruse. I get a lot of feedback from the site. Folks provide comments, corrections and a lot of questions about whether or not we are related. It’s fun stuff.
I still have more to do on the genealogy site as that is only a weekends worth of work. Of course, I need to add a bunch of data too. If you had an account on the old genealogy site, I haven’t moved those accounts over yet. I need to investigate whether or not that is possible. Worst case, just request a new account on the new site. If you are not a user and logged in, you will be limited as too how much information you can see. A lot of the date is private for registered members only as a security precaution. I contol who has access.
As always, if you have any comments or feedback on the new site, let me know. And if you want to help with the research, let me know that too.
Genealogy Site Update
April 29, 2007
I have been hard at work this weekend preparing a new genealogy site. To me, the current site had gotten old and out dated. The appearance was very dated and ease of use for non-technical folks was sometimes questioned.
I had hoped to announce the site tonight, but I am still struggling with auto directing page requests to the old genealogy site to the new site. So, hopefully in the next day or two, I will announce the site.
There isnt really much new data on the site, just a repackaging of the site. I hope to make some updates here real soon.
Today, my Mother’s cousin, Elaine Fontana, came over to visit us. She has a wealth of information on my Mother’s side of the family and should be providing that real soon. I have a stack of data on Suzanne’s side of the family too. I just need to find time to go through it. With my goal of redesigning Cruise Talk Central, the time part of the equation has been difficult.
Be on the lookout for the new site in the next few days.
