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.
Brent Adeline was born in 1808. This is getting close to the ideal time to research ancestors. From the 1800s to the early 1900s there's lots of info available out there on the Internet that you might not already have. Census records and birth and death records are more common and you can often find photos which is really nice. Of course, that is by no means universally true. Records for this particular individual, for example, actually seem to be pretty sparse.
According to Gramps, Adeline is my third great grandaunt so all things considered, this is a pretty close relationship.
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. 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 (TNG) 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.
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.
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations from Gramps. The chart at the bottom is the same thing but generated by TNG. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.
