Family History

So, after helping my mother with the genealogical research part of her project, I picked up the tricks and techniques for doing it myself; I've since become interested in finding a bit more about my own roots. On the Cozens side, I've got things as far back as 1844, which in genealogical terms is last week, but on my mother's side I've done a bit better.

But how to display the results? Most of the Gedcom (genealogy file format) web publishing out there allow for minimal styling; I wanted something that I could template and make it fit in with the style of the site here. So I wrote the templates, and used the Apache::Template and Gedcom Perl modules to bring them to life. I didn't need to write any Perl code at all.

There are still a few improvements I want to make, but for now, here's my family tree!
