If this was a relational database, we could identify persons and places associated with Events throughout time and explore complex relationships. For example we could perhaps determine all relatives that served in a conflict, or that lived in a place. I love Genealogy, and marvel at the rich information that we all share.
If only we could normalize all of our our information and cross reference and relate at a higher level.
My personal tree is fairly large, and being able to connect to all of you is amazing.
can't we do better? wouldn't you like to know how all of your relatives served, and how complex their life's were during the revolutionary, and Civil wars. Wouldn't you like to know how your families were all impacted by Slavery, and how History glues our relatives together.
any Thoughts or Ideas in this arena would be very welcome.
I have been trying very hard to convert our old Gedcom to an Access or SQL Database so that we could do some truly amazing things
