Genealogy: Ulfhild Bjornsdatter (1132-1177)

in genealogy •  2 months ago 

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.

Ulfhild Bjornsdtter was born around 1132 and is of Viking decent. Whether she appears to have really existed or not appears to be in some dispute. The sole known original source is from a magazine in the early 1830s and it is considered of questionable reliability.

This person is too distant for Gramps to calculate the relationship. However, I am related indirectly through my Grandmother on my Mother's side (a distant cousin). Assuming she existed of course (Ulfhild, not my Grandmother).

I use GenoPro to maintain my family tree but 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 them 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. I also have GedSite which also generates static HTML reports.

Both TNG and GedSite are commercial software so there is a cost associated with 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. I still like TNG enough that I will probably keep using it as well. I've been playing with GedSite on and off 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 fairly 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.
