Genealogy Database to website

[Marcus Strudwicke]

Hi,
I am building a website to place data collected as part of a STRUDWICK one
name study. I already have several brands of software for my GED files,( I
have numerous unconnected branches) and can produce suitable web pages from
these. I have also collected a large number of lists of names found in
various sources, ie all Strudwick names in 1841 England census, all
strudwick names found in parish registers, etc and wish to place these on
the site as searchable databases.
Anyone able to advise, from their experience, the best way to proceed? I am
a long time computer user,but don't know much about writing HTML, most of my
web pages are either generated by the genealogy software or created in MS
Word.
Thanks
Marcus Strudwicke

Have you thought about using PHPGEDVIEW?

It's written in PHP and allows you to do searches, create reports, etc.

Thanks David. My genealogy software will already produce web pages for my
GEDfile data, and provides a reasonable surname search facility etc. What I
want to create are pages with a search function from excel files I have,
that contain large spreadsheets of data such as all Strudwicke names found
in English parish registers for instance. I am not sure that PHPGedView will
do this, but am downloading and will give it a try.
Cheers,

The major benefit of using PHPGedView is that the database is
accessible only to those whom you invite. You can also grant edit and
maintenance ability to selected individuals. It is great for a project
where several individuals can work on it at the same time.

I am using it for an upcoming family reunion so I can download the
completed gedcom file and create a PDF report to hand out at the
reunion.

Additionally, if used with the MySQL database option, it will now give
you a format that you can query using Structured Query Language and
create (and manipulate) the data in a format suitable to your liking.

Hi Marcus,

I use Mivascript on my one-name Brebner/Bremner site at http://www.brebner.com
for all database searches for BMD, census etc.. Then I link from those
results to the compiled genealogy of the family if available. At some
point in the near future, that will also link to any related text
files, monumental incriptions, photographs and so on.

Have a look at my site and see if that's the sort of thing you're
looking for.

Best wishes.

John

I have downloaded PHPGedView, and tested it locally on my server, and shows
promise. Unfortunately however my provider has advised that their server
does not support PHP. Am currently trying out mivascript as an alternative,
otherwise may need to look for alternative webspace.
Cheers to all who have assisted.

Check out GoDaddy.com - allows PHP, MySQL, etc. - starting at US$3.95
per month.

There are also hosting services that offer specific PHPGedView hosting.

Good luck.
