Just found this post which is very useful, as I’ve been wondering how to do exactly what you are talking about here. I set up a free WordPress.com blog back in July 2008 initially just to keep notes on what I could find out for free about my family history.

It then became something that my close family followed, and has subsequently become a lighthouse for distant cousins searching similar families. I was sent over 40,000 records on GEDCOM file by one cousin and so ended up getting the iFamily for Leopard family tree software. It runs on my Mac and only cost 30 bucks, and would have made me more disciplined about my research, but it lacked a very important feature … and that’s some way of integrating a family tree from a GEDCOM file on my blog.

Obviously, I’d need to set-up a .org WordPress blog as a next step in order to be able to use plug-ins, but if anyone does create a plug-in then please let me know because I’m on the look-out for one.

The Theme does not read from the GEDCOM file. I’m talking to Mark about publishing a detailed step-by-step how to very soon. It’s wonderful, but not the complete solution so many are looking for. The entries must be added manually, though I’m working on an import strategy. Stay tuned.

Superb effort Mark!

Is this read from a Ged file? Or is that the next stage?

Hang on… I’ll contact you via your site to get the gory details!

Well, I finally got round to making a site that is almost a beta in terms of functionality. Needs a bit more data, but do feel free to have a look at it. I did an announcement on WordPress.org at Taylor Demorias Family Tree discussion. Gary
