Talk About Family

Objective:

Note family passport methodology used to describe family and family members.

Conclusion:

There are basically two relationships that need to be addressed

1. Relationships between families
• Illustration method: Family Tree Diagram
• ftd-main-momside.htm
• ftd-main-dadside.htm
2. Relationships within each family
• Illustration method: Family Portrait
• portrait_main-momside.htm
• portrait-main-dadside.htm
Examples of each are shown below

• For optimal story-telling and indexing, each Family Portrait is accessible through
• navigation of the Family Tree Diagram (FTD)
• Click on text within family node (rounded rectangular box) to access that family's Portrait
• navigation between Family Portraits
• Click on Family Members face
• to move up or down a generation
1. Click on Parent's face will bring to Portrait of their childhood
2. Click on Child's face will bring you to Portrait where they are parent

• Family discussion really comes alive with introduction of a face for each name.
• At first the goal was to get at least one photo (JPG file) for each person.
• But now that our collection and sources are maturing, it's appropriate to get at least 2 pictures

Family Member - Child	Family Member - Parent

1. Current / Elder picture for Portrait where Member is Parent
2. Young Adult or Child Picture where Member is Child

We also wish to fill in all the blanks -
Missing Obituaries, photos, Birth/Wedding/RIP Dates

The story is becoming clearer.
Can you feel it?
