Ted, I'm still experimenting - just now I'm trying to figure out which way to go with the next update. My first page has different elements, where 'Our ancestors' as I believe was made using Legacy (could be a different one, since some of the programs give very similar output). Under 'Family Tree' you'll find an inplementation of the 'Dynamic Family Tree' (DFT) program. You can see all this at http://www.brandlweb.com/family.html - still in preliminary stage.
What I sofar have found and tried re. alternative approaches are the following: * Ged2Web: Very powerful, produces descendant & ancestor pedigrees. But it shows dates for marriages only, no birth & death dates or places * GedBrowser: Very peculiar graphics, in particular shaded boxes with pedigrees, which I just can't get used to <g>. Fonts are too small for me either. It's also taking up lots of space at each page, if memeory serves me. * GenViewer Have tried the pedigree charts - they show most/all of the data for individuals in the tree, but graphically I'm not really convinced. It's a rather basic textual solution taking up lots of space. * GedHTree Sofar seems to fit my personal taste best, very powerful too (it's shareware, but at a very moderate price). Has rather nice boxed pedigrees which can be browsed, offers timeline tables, name frequency count, age stats and even maps (US & Europe) showing a density distribution for people based on their birth country. This time I'll probably combine GedHTree with any of the standard ancestors book reports, the latter done with Legacy and/or PAF. And no, I'm not related to any of these software companies/authors :-) An informative survey page with much more genealogical web software can btw be found at http://help.surnameweb.org/knight/ Hope this helps some Tilman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted HARRIS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "LegacyUserGroup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 9:22 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] WEBSITES > Now that we have background music dealt with can I please ask 2 questions of > the more experienced users. > > 1) Which is better to make a webpage, the Legacy imbedded program or another > purpose built program? > > 2) Would you like to send me the URL of your site so that I can see how the > experts do it?
