Genealogy

After the really great post by lhridley on her First stab at data structures for a Drupal 7 based Genealogy site, I'm hoping this will garner robust feedback as well. This is for the launch of the GreatAlbum site.

Hi Drupal Boston, Alumni & Genealogy groups. I was pretty active in these groups about 10 years ago. Been out of it for a while, but jumping back in now as I prepare to build & launch a site that's been my dream for 20 years!

About GreatAlbum

Over the years I have developed a functional Drupal 7 based genealogy site.
It was created using contributed modules and a slightly modified Bootstrap subtheme.
Entity Contruction Kit https://www.drupal.org/project/eck, Panels https://www.drupal.org/project/panels and Views https://www.drupal.org/project/views do most of the heavy lifting.

Take a look at it here https://sandesancestry.net

After coming up for air from a grueling client project, I turned attention back to Drupal genealogy. Attached is a PDF document outlining some proposed data structures for creating a Drupal based genealogy site. These structures are assuming Drupal 7 as the base site.

The content type most likely to change would be the Source and Source Citation content types, as I'm still studying the best layout and information to capture for accurate source citations across the various source types.

I have developed a family history website based on Drupal 7 which works quite well.

The only minor downside is that you need to enter references twice and there are no automatically generated family trees.
I am not a programmer or web developer but I would be happy to share what I have and to collaborate with anybody on taking this further.
Take a look at my site at http://sandesancestry.net.
I am busy creating a document on the complete structure of the site and I will post a link to it here once completed.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I'm a software developer that works for a Drupal development shop, and I'm also an avid genealogy hobbyist. In addition, I develop mobile apps for iOS devices.

Hi all,

Soon the 7.x stable will be ready for the Family Tree module. I would like to hear what would contribute to make this module better.

Hello all,
I would like to develop a genealogy application in Drupal. I wanted to see what has already been done specifically as it relates to using the Semantic Web. I know there are some genealogy modules but I'm interested in this from a Semantic Web perspective. I know that Drupal 7 supports RDFa out of the box, as it were. However, for Genealogy there are two specific vocabularies (at least) that one would want to use for Genealogy, that being BIO for biographic information and it has a focus around events in one's life. It is defined here:

Hi,
Recently, I received a project where i have to create an online database of the genealogy (family tree) of a community. I think Drupal is the best option for creating this kind of a website.
I searched for some drupal modules to create or import a genealogy and found a couple.
The first one was genmod, which displays the database created externally from a script called "genmod". This plugin is still in development, but i tried it anyway, but, as expected it gave a lot of problems.

I've reviewd 3 modules from Drupal Modules for Genealogy
Currently I'am searching other PHP/Drupal Based ways to work with Genealogy/Family Tree development.

Also I'm trying to research GEDCOM alternatives

And I am interested in this work, because I have plans about My Family Researching Results and future work.

So how it is now?
What most used modules are?
Which modules are being in development process good.
