Re: Displaying Genealogical Informatio such as ancestor charts....

Ed:

The Church of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) offers a free genealogical=20
program called PAF (Personal Ancestral File) that can, among other things,=
=20
generate HTML pages with family trees.  Anyone can get the program, not=20
just members of this church.  If your genealogy program can generate GEDCOM=
=20
files, then you can import these into PAF.

You can get PAF from:

http://www.ldscatalog.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/CategoryDisplay?Krypto=3DVtqb5D=
3uSjgJTU6DrxKHvgVr%2BIV60U0qVw3JawF91OMIe5tAAYU9889WhSgLSmjfUoWVhlv4ZfDiGfrk=
nxtrAZj3oUK9B8dv4n5ryVdMkTAU7h1yM5T7Pg5iPFpgXx0DApOZfgv0%2BupQSs4luw8wRo4YXA=

ssmr9My6MYFu671mEgKg%3D%3D

(or go to http://www.familysearch.com/ and follow the link 'Order/Download=
=20
Products'.)

You can see an example of a family tree generated by PAF at:

http://www.upsdell.com/genealogy/index.htm

Note that I had to edit some of the pages generated.  In particular, I had=
=20
to edit the Index page (see my site) because PAF generates a single Index=20
page, which for a large family tree gets to be enormous:  I broke the Index=
=20
page up into pages for names beginning with the various letters of the=20
alphabet.

Note also that PAF offers diverse options for generating the HTML pages.
