Family Tree – Bloodline
An interactive family tree application with multi-generation support, member management and visual relationship rendering.
An interactive family tree web application with multi-generation support, member management and visual rendering of relationships.
The problem
Family history is a graph, not a list, and most people record it in a document that cannot show the shape of it. Once you pass three generations, a written record stops being readable and nobody can see how two branches connect.
What I built
Multi-generation tree rendering. The relationships drawn rather than described, which is the entire point of a family tree.
Member management. Adding people, editing details and attaching them to the right branch without breaking existing links.
Interactive navigation. Moving through generations rather than loading one enormous static image.
The stack
PHP with MySQL. The interesting part is the data model rather than the interface: parent and child relationships, marriages and branches need a schema that handles remarriage, adoption and incomplete records without falling over.
