How I built a family tree

In November 2018, the idea of ​​creating my family tree came back to me. This was especially prompted by the  digitization of the archives of the Great Patriotic War , in which I found my ancestors:

• Gaivoronsky Gavriil Stepanovich

  
  
  
  
  

• Katin Nikolay Ivanovich

  
  
  
  
  

• Katin Ivan Ivanovich

  
  
  
  
  

• Khizhnyak Vasily Andreevich

  
  
  
  
  

• Khizhnyak Ivan Andreevich

  
  
  
  
  

• Zhovannik Gavriil Grigorievich

  
  
  
  
  

Before that, I tried to somehow write everything down on paper, but literally a month later it was lost. In this connection, this time I decided to store the data in electronic format.

Before doing something of my own, I:

1. Defined a  number of criteria  for the service:

   
   
   
   
   

   1. The ability to import / export all data in a simple form (the ability to create a backup and independence from one service)

      
      
      
      
      

   2. The ability to create complex structures (not only vertical genealogical lines, but also horizontal ones, also “plurality”, “polyandry” and other situations)

      
      
      
      
      

   3. "Acceptable" graph display

      
      
      
      
      

2. Studied all kinds of analogs  on the market

   
   
   
   
   

Unfortunately, I did not find a service that meets the criteria. Service example:

The overwhelming mass was aimed at creating simple vertical trees, and, of course, did not take into account horizontal connections + difficult situations that I faced, which I will write about later.

Later I decided to make a universal tool for storing and displaying the real picture of the pedigree.
