Clarkeology.com is mostly our Clarke family tree stuff site, set up to host the tree information dug up by Dad, and turned into web pages by me.
Click on any of the names on this page to get climbing the tree from that point, or see the family names, or the family tree forum (that is not really a forum any more, sorry).
There is a page for each person in our tree with links to their parents, children, + siblings, and some other stats. Plus it's all formatted up with schema.org microformats. I wrote it a while ago in php but have redone it in javascript now. This is also now a static site, split over several repo's, how exciting.
Still hoping to add more branches to our family tree! If you'd like to traverse our family tree you can pick a person (say Charles Valentine Clarke or The Famous Harry Clarke) and then follow the links up and down the tree.
Maybe start below π
Still more info to be had from the census and BMD records, we're adding new family very very occasionally. It's really exciting when you find new family, so then it's a struggle again when you feel you have exhausted all the tree info you can find. We used up our free allowance on myheritage and have decided it's not worth paying them any more. New family will definitely appear on this site if we find any.
No royalty or surprise family fortunes yet, but we have tracked down some distant cousins we knew nothing about, and found we had relatives on the Titanic.
Searching for Stoke Newington or Folkestone info here? Man alive you've been coming here a long time! Best off heading to the weblog... See latest posts in the sidebar over there.
