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.
Robert Constable was born in or around 1177. This is another one of those individuals that have some link to royalty or there would likely be no information at all available. As it is, I don't have a whole lot. As I look him up again, while I found a couple of small tidbits of info, the most interesting thing is that he is a direct ancestor and I found more ancestors in that line. In other words, I found more info for his spouse, parents and their more distant ancestors.
According to Gramps, Robert Constable is my twenty-third great grandfather.
I use GenoPro, which is commercial software, to maintain my family tree because I like the "Genogram" user interface. However, I mainly use Gramps to generate reports which is what most of the info below is based on. GenoPro generates reports too, I just don't like how they are formatted as much. While GenoPro is commercial software, Gramps is open source software that is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS. I also use its relationship calculator functionality as noted above. I've also been exploring The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) which is web based and requires a web server, PHP and mySQL database. In addition, I also have GedSite which also generates static HTML reports.
Both TNG and GedSite are commercial software so you have to pay for them. I think their price is 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 easier to work with for sharing data here. I still like TNG enough that I will probably keep using it as well. I've been playing with GedSite occasionally but haven't committed to it yet, however I've liked other sites I've seen generated with it. For now I am generating reports with Gramps and updating TNG on a semi-regular basis.
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations from Gramps. The chart at the bottom is a descendant chart as generated by TNG. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.
