Vital Records

Still a work in progress

I found this interesting solution using yaml files to represent family relationships. //github.com/rstacruz/kingraph The rest of the charting and diagraming was beyond my knowledge, but the yaml datafile sparked interest.

Then I found another solution that utilized ideas kingraph from github.com/brianpeiris/kingraph-web. This was more approachable for the graphing/diagram aspect of it, but still beyonf my knowledge of javascript.

Then I found another solution that utilized ideas kingraph from github.com/vokimon/nissaga/..../modernfamily.yaml. This was even more approachable for yaml data implementation aspects. Giving confidence something could bve done. But this one was in python.

So I moved out on my own with a concept that there would be one family page for each "family". This is of course a tree. I have no idea how to do that, but I worked on my dataformat first. I could have (and maybe will later) embedded the family yaml on each families page. Instead for now I went with editting one large file with all familiwes and members. It looks something like this.

Eventually I banged and taped together a php Class to read the yaml and pruduce the nested list array of the tree. My CSS is horrible, but these pages are the use of that data.
