Genealogists and map-freaks might find this site interesting. I've tied USGS GNIS, FIPS, and Census Bureau information together with photographs and locations of cemeteries. There is a search for cemetery inventories and listings for NC, VA, TN, SC, and GA. The search site is at

http://cemsearch.mybigfamily.us

Xoops and TinyContent are such wonderfully flexible things, I was able to split my originalhttp://www.mybigfamily.us site in two, but have the genealogy pages call into the new area map generator pages with a minimum of hassle.

PS: I'm still hoping for a comprehensive, XOOPS-based genealogy program. I'm using my own at the moment, but don't have time to finish all the input pages it really deserves. Geneweb fell far short and was too inflexible to carry forward. If anyone hears, let me know!

interesting stuff... I have recently been researching my own family history here in Australia. Good Luck with site!

Genealogy's an horrible addiction :LOL: Apparently, one branch of my Smiths and a branch of my Glens went to Oz in the 1700's, but I can't find the link. Maybe some day I'll find my cousins Down Under.

(returning to topic) speaking of site-clone-and-go, I've been working on a research project picking apart the FCC public data files. Most of the same scripts ported right across (that map-getter is a handy thing for a lot of uses). Here's a link to the research site:
