I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here.

This individual dates back to the late 1700s. Whether or not it is easy to find information for such individuals depends on whether they have a link to royalty and/or how good the records were wherever they lived. This individual seems to benefit from a little of both. New England colonies seemed to keep pretty good records in general and this individual seems to descend from Scottish royalty.

The relationship calculator in Gramps spits back a huge number of relationships but the closest seems to be sixth cousin, eight times removed.

I'm still exploring GedSite, a program that takes a gedcom file and converts it into html and The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding which is web based and requires a setup with apache (or other webserver), php and mysql. Mostly I've been playing around with TNG but I'll get back to GedSite eventually. When it comes to converting this stuff to web pages, every piece of software available seems to have advantages and disadvantages and it is hard to settle on just one. One of the things I like about TNG is how you can easily switch between different chart styles. I've shown a bunch of different ancestor chart styles already and I'll show some others soon. The above chart comes from Gramps.
