My name is Philip Green and this website, GreenDavies.co.uk is dedicated to all
of my ancestors. I created this site partly to learn website construction, but mainly to share the information that
I have researched and discovered about my ancestors.
I started my research in 2001 and consequently the task of collating and uploading the information is a long process, and it will be some time
before I have a separate page for each ancestor. Information about recent additions and major changes will be published on the home page. Alternatively, if you would like to be kept informed of changes when they happen, then notification of updates can be received via an
rss feed,
e-mail or on
FriendFeed.
I hope that the information provided on this website is clear and easy to understand.
I also hope that the site looks good, is easy to navigate and not too slow.
If you are related to anyone mentioned on this site, or if you have additional information/photographs that you would like to share, or maybe
you would just like to contact me regarding some of the information provided on
this site, then please use this
to contact me.
Alternatively, if you have spotted a typo, a broken link, a feature that does not
function as expected, or have a suggestion on how I could improve this site, then please
use this
to notify me of the problem.
Please note: If the above e-mail links do not work, you may contact me using the contact form. Alternatively you may leave a public comment using the comments form to the right.
If you are interested in the technical aspects of this site, such as: what software
package am I using? Well, there is no single package.
Originally, when I started my research I tried a few genealogy/family tree software
packages, but none of them displayed the data quite how I wanted, so I decided to learn
website construction and design (html, CSS, Javascript, etc.) to enable me to show the data as I wanted. To do this I am using Microsoft's Visual Web Developer 2008 to create and edit the code. The trees were created using
GenoPro, and saved as images, which are then displayed within iframes.
jQuery.ScrollTo and some Javascript code is used to scroll the frames to the correct position. To make the trees dragable I have modified code found on a drag and drop tutorial by Luke Breuer. Obout Flyout is used to display a picture (if one exists)
when the cursor hovers over a person in the tree. The breadcrumb style dropdowns are based on Son of Suckerfish Dropdowns from HTML dog. Simile Exhibit is being used to render the
BMD and Census databases.
The search engine is created using ZoomSearch and the code for the autocompleter is from Digitarald. Piclens Publisher and the Cooliris Embedded Wall, both from Cooliris, are used to create and display the picture wall on the homepage, and also slideshows elsewhere within the site. The enlarged pictures that pop up on the Ancestors pages are displayed using Highslide JS and the zoomable images were created using Zoomify. The bubble tooltips are using code from walterzorn.com. The thumnail images inside some of them are provided by SnapCasa.
Once uploaded,
regularly checks the site for broken links.
If you have been browsing this site and didn't find the person or family that you were looking for, then I apologise for taking up your time. Perhaps, one of the following sites will guide you towards the correct person or family.
