The Family of Robert Alan & Susan Bennett (Public)

A tale of ordinary folk with a few exceptions

Change Log

Changelog

18 January 2025 - A major update (see below). There may be teething problems so please bear with me and drop me a note of any major issues. Please note that the site now includes an entry for all known living persons BUT no details are shown, not even their names.

I have made a huge change in how I store my data and report on it. The database that I used, The Master Genealogist (TMG), has been out of support for many years. I have migrated my data to RootsMagic 10 (RM10) and spent many hours tidying up any resulting data issues. This website is now generated by GedSite (GS) instead of SecondSite (SS). SS only works with TMG. GS works with any GEDCOM files.

The new version of this site looks familiar but there are some new features to check out. I especially love the SEARCH option and the Interactive Pedigrees. There are some minor losses where RM10 doesnt support features that were in TMG.

19 January 2025 - A few tweaks. Mapping changed from StreetMaps to GoogleMaps. Structure of a users page adjusted to make key data easier to find.

22 January 2025 - Many hours spent tidying up the place list in RM10 so that all are now have correct spellings and are geocoded. Next step is to Geocode the more important place details, e.g. churches, farms, etc.

22 January 2025 - Sentence structure fixed for Probate/Admon/BMD Registrations

23 January 2025 - New indexes for relatives of Alan and Susan.
