Jeanne is also avid in scrap booking, if photos of our ancestors are in your shoe box somewhere – you might want to send it to us, we would welcome to keep them in acid free albums and archive them. Just provide the story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since I started compiling our Family Tree in 1993, I have never been so thrilled to be able to make this database open for collaborative update. Dick Eastman – one of the well known followers of modern day genealogical development, has written about PhpGedView in his blog Eastman’s Online Genealogy<\/a> . It practically describes my own experience – from maintaining our family tree using pen and paper, then desktop based software, generating web pages (HTML files) and uploading it, and now to a full collaborative version.<\/p>\n

He has written that blog less than a year ago – so I guess you could say that our Family Tree, which is now published using PhpGedView, is in the bleeding edge of technology. The software is over 5 years old and one stage, was the most active Open Source project.<\/p>\n

You do not have to be tech savvy to get into the action – in fact I’ve taken care most of technical stuff needed to get this project going – now we just need the rest of the family to get behind it and update, add stories, details about family members – it can truly make us closer if we want to.<\/p>\n

Trace the other leg of your own family – often times I’m only tracing one leg because I’m personally related to that leg. For example – I will trace my uncle but stop short at his wife (my aunt-in-law), so if you were my cousin you could take the next step and trace your mother’s roots – get the drift? Hint – Tita Neng, you can extend the Rivera line. Emma – extend the Balberan Line. Aizy – extend the Zapanta line, Rove\/Ryzanne extend the Laroco line. Mark\/Paolo – take care of the Pacheco’s. Ryzza how about the Quitasol’s . Emily – how about the Ramirez and the Merca’s etc etc etc \ud83d\ude42 (OK I can’t name you all there are over 1000 of you in my list now).<\/p>\n

So now – do you understand why this version of our family tree can be heaps more advance and flexible as anything we’ve ever seen before?<\/p>\n

The Family Tree can be found in https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/webtrees<\/a> – if you have not yet bookmarked it or committed the address to memory – I will disown you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
