Does anyone have their own family history website ? Did you build it yourself ? Is it hard to maintain? Do you get lots of "hits" - and do you want to ?
My daughter wants to practice her website making skills by making me a website for our family history.
I have an idea what I want it to look like and do, will it be too hard ?
I did think I might be nice so that the kids and other rellies could know what I have found about their ancestors.
But I don't want it just to be another family tree, as I have several on ancestry and GR, as well as a PAF database.
I want it to be more - I would like to be able to put all the basic data - birth, death, marriage, children, census and /or electoral rolls, but also a space for all stories I am collecting, interesting facts or obscure data.
Some of these things don't fit well into PAF or ancestry trees.
I may attach some photos and maybe other interesting bits but I don't really want to attach birth/death marriage certs (well, I really don't know why not, but it seems really personal even if they are dead). I guess I should also document sources, so that others can know I have done "proper research" not just downloaded from other websites.
Any thoughts appreciated
