Before going ahead with this approach, check with the web site hosting organisation - mine doesn't support php
Jack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Arnold Sprague Sent: 21 August 2006 21:22 To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Setting up family history web site with Legacy I would suggest that you consider using The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) <http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php>. It provides an amazing capability for displaying your genealogical information. We use it on our website, The Sprague Project <http://www.sprague-database.org/>, for its search feature and displays of genealogical data. We use Dreamweaver for our non-TNG pages. We allow our visitors to see information on *all* deceased individuals. No one has access to make any changes. Anyone can make suggestions which we evaluate. The beauty of TNG is that you simply upload a GEDCOM file from your genealogical program. Beware that TNG is a large program and has, IMHO, a stiff learning curve. To offset that, there is a TNG user group and a TNG forum. Both are good sources of help. Further, TNG comes with an excellent readme file. TNG is shareware and costs $29. A new version is coming out in the near future. At 03:10 AM 8/21/2006, you wrote: >I am in the process of trying to create a family history web site.
