Genealogy

This project generates a simple HTML website from a CSV file of genealogical data. The key advantage of this project over other available services is that this project does not require a common ancestor (root node). The submitted data can have any graph shape. The custom sorting algorithm automatically places children beneath their parents, partners adjacent to one another, and places siblings in groups. Generations are visually separated for clarity.

Features

• No common ancestor (root) required
• Automatic sorting - no need to order the CSV entries
• Different coloured links for parent-child connections and partner connections
• Capable of handling multiple partners
• Zooming and panning
• Clear generational gaps
• Simple CSV input format
