Also, I just discovered an interesting project called TimeMap that could possibly take HTML::Timeline to the next level. Imagine that below the timeline of the people in your GEDCOM file there were a map. And when you click on an event in the timeline (a birth, death, marriage, etc.), the maps zooms to the place associated with the event (like you see with a lot of Google Maps mashups). Here's the TimeMap homepage: http://code.google.com/p/timemap Unfortunately, the demos linked from the site are a little flaky for me, but the examples in this tarball seem to work well: http://timemap.googlecode.com/files/timemap.1.1.tar.gz Try scrolling the timeline in timemap.1.1/examples/artists.html back and forth and imagine you were watching your ancestors migrate all over the place. Neat stuff. We've got the data in our GEDCOM files. It's just a matter of exporting it correctly. Phil
