Presenting family history data on the Internet does not always have to be based on complex HTML formatted pages. Recently, genealogists have been experimenting with different ways to deliver data on the web, and I'm no exception, as my data base includes Bradts, Brotts, Bunkers, Winslows, Williams, Roblees and others galore. Wouldn't you know it, but the most heavily used surname in my data base is Archer. Based on a recent article in Richard Eastman's genealogy newsletter, I decided to try a program called The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding ©, written by Darrin Lythgoe. The program permits the genealogist to export family history data (an old-fashioned GEDCOM file), then import the file and convert it to a data base (in this case a MySQL data base on my web site, which runs under Linux). Information is delivered to the web site visitor by PHP scripts. Although it helps to know SQL and PHP, you don't have to (I certainly don't) if you know basic data base principles. If you'd like to see how it works, please visit my site at: http://www.greencity.org/TNG/index.php Any feedback is appreciated.
