I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here with the goal of eventually creating a linked family tree on Hive. You can see the index here.
Geva Hamalant was born in or around 903 if this source is to be believed. This is yet another individual that was born so long ago that they have to have been related to royalty. I don't think there are any records for your average peasant going back that far. But as I've mentioned before, if you are alive today and you are descended from Europeans, then you almost certainly have a member of royalty in your family tree somewhere. The only question is whether or not you can find them.
This is too many generations back for Gramps to count, however, I can tell looking at the Genograms that this individual is a direct ancestor through the mother of my grandfather on my father's side.
I use GenoPro to maintain my family tree but I use other programs to generate reports and web pages. One of those programs, Gramps, is open source software for Windows, Linux and MacOS that I have been using to generate static HTML reports and is what most of the info you see below is based on. I also use its relationship calculator functionality as noted above but I've found it only works back to about 27 generations give or take. I've also been exploring The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) which is web based and requires a setup with a web server, PHP and mySQL. I also have GedSite which also generates static HTML reports that I will dig into more eventually.
While Gramps is free, both TNG and GedSite are commercial software so you have to pay for them. I think their price is perfectly reasonable and they are both excellent in their own ways. However, I prefer the open source nature of Gramps and the fact that it generates static HTML makes it easy to work with. I like TNG enough that I will probably keep using it also though. I'll remain undecided on GedSite until I get back to trying it out more though I've liked other sites I've seen generated with it.
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations from Gramps. The chart at the bottom is a descendant chart generated by TNG also out to four generations. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.
