PLEASE NOTE: AS OF 14 DEC 2008 MY FAMILY HISTORY SITE IS NOW BACK ONLINE BUT ALL USER DATA HAS BEEN LOST. CONSQUENTLY ALL PREVIOUS USERS WHO ARE STILL WANTING TO GAIN FULL ACCESS TO THE DATABASE WILL HAVE TO RE-REGISTER.
I've made available on the world wide web all the genealogical work I've been doing. As a former librarian and website developer, I'm a great believer in sharing information rather than protecting, hiding or secreting it.
My site is called 'Australian Royalty' because I have quite a few convict ancestors. Check it out! You might find some of your ancestors there too.
I built the site using PHPGedview and I can highy recommend this software to anyone who wants to share their family history on the web and who wants a sophisticated searchable database that protects the privacy of living people. It's open source, meaning that you don't have to pay for the software. And it's 'dynamic' meaning that unlike static HTML pages, the information that is seen differs depending on the needs and identity of the user.
If you have require assistance in setting up PHPGedview software, I am happy to assist for an hourly rate. It should take a few hours to completely set it up. All you need to start is an internet service provider. So if you have internet access from home, you are ready to go! You can see more of the website design work that I've done here.
If you can help with providing me with more information about any of the people and/or families in my PHPGedview database, especially photos and stories, please contact me. If you are really keen, I can also give you access to the database with a user id and password so that you can add information yourself.
