Our Rochester falcon family tree page is out of date.

http://rfalconcam.com/rfc-main/familyTree.php

We need to update it. There are several ways we can go here:

  • Add Archer's lineage to the right side of the page
  • Create a 2nd page for A&B separate from the M&K/C-S page
  • Create a linked set of pages. Click on links on each page to follow the tree and display information for each falcon.

Each option has its own pluses and minuses. The first option would be the easiest to do, but over time it would get very busy and hard to read. The second would be a bit harder to set up than the first, but easier to read and maintain. The third would be the most difficult to set up, but would be easy to update, easy to follow, and it could potentially contain more information than a simple chart. Ei mentioned working on something similar in this post from April.

It appears to be a standalone application that runs on a PC. It's not very useful from someone who doesn't own a copy of the program. However, if it could output a linked set of pages that we could upload to our site, that would be great.

Another option would be to use a web-based application, either through a web site like ancestry.com or by installing it and running it on our site. There may be some costs involved, and we'd have to decide if they are worth it and then how to pay for them.

At this point, I'd be willing to accept anything that filled in the gaping hole in our falcon family tree as long as it looked professional and could be easily viewed by visitors to our site.

Discussion? Volunteers? Hired guns?

Let me check the program I was working with when I get home-I think it may have a web-based version.  I don't recall how far I got...seem to remember trying to find my notes on Rhea Mae's 1st brood when the season got going here...

It does have a web version.  I just have to purchase the "premium" edition-not likely too expensive-too tired tonight.  Looks like I have everyone I know of entered except the 2010 hatches, so no sense reinventing the wheel.  The premium edition also allows for a static everyone on one page view that could be uploaded for a quick overview similar to what we have now.

I do have to enter some details like band info. I don't recall ever seeing band numbers for the Mariah & Cabot-Sirocco offspring.  Let me know if they're available.

I never actually thought of that-I already had the family tree program so I just went with it.  The reports turn out fine-just have to laugh at the pop-ups...

The cat breeders in my neighborhood use the bushes beneath my bedroom window.
