i) our own interest,
ii) to document peoples' knowledge before it becomes lost,
iii) to provide a resource for the youngest generation to see from whence they came.
Here is a photograph of most of the family, assembled at Debbie's wedding, along with a first drafting of the family tree.
We initially superseded this with dynamically generated pages that allow the whole known tree, of both the Crosbys and the Clarks, to be displayed and the various branches to be explored. This was done using ftree software by Simon Ward. When we moved to a Linux based webserver this required some tweaking. Thanks Simon for your help. The tree can be accessed by following this link.
To use the software, move in and out using the Zoom In / Zoom Out icons at the top of the page.
Move the focus point of the tree by clicking on a person and zooming in and out from their record.
When you reach just the person, if they have page or pages dedicated to them, there will be a link.
If you move to a person you can follow another branch and expose previously not displayed branches. Unfortunately we had to remove public access to this data due to the high bandwidth usage it generated. If you think you are related to us and would like to see the data, please contact me using one of the feedback forms on the site. We are now moving to using PHPGEDView as our online family genealogy project software.
