i’ve been working on expanding my family records using more web research. i’ve found another possible branch of the family, surname szlachet. there is also a schlecht family, who owns a poultry processing company in poland.
anyways.. i’ve been using a package called phpmyfamily to enter in family tree information. i used an open source graphing package named graphviz to draw the above graph. a moderately complicated sql query to phpmyfamily’s database generates a list of parent->child relationships and an awk script reformats it into the metalanguage for graphviz. once i’ve done some updates to the database, it takes me just a few minutes to generate a new graph. i hope to automate this..
the graph is helping me visualize the tree without having to redraw it on paper. it’s also making more obvious the holes, missing parts, and possibly linkages. i hope to gather enough bits of information to connect the large parts together.
