About

My interest in family history was sparked by my grandmother, who told me colourful family stories of opera singers and philanthropists. Later, I reconstructed the family trees of villagers from medieval Suffolk as part of my PhD research, and later still I made the career transition to developing web applications. When I finally had the time and resources to start researching my own family history I was unhappy with the failure of many family history applications to reflect the structure of the documentary evidence, and decided to create my own web application to structure my research in my own way. This web site is the result.

This site is constantly in development and so there are many features which you might expect to find on a family tree site which you won't find here yet (for example, only very basic charts of family relationships can be viewed). Please be patient!
