  • Added and buttons to all family trees so that the branches can be collapsed and expanded. This should help view the larger trees. E.g. Richard I, Duke of Normandy's family tree. This will probably only work with IE4+.

  • Now have the locations of almost 500 mainly medieval places in England, Scotland and Wales, and have put them on the maps. Each place is either linked to more information on this site, or links to multimap.com to show where it is. (I've tried to verify each location, but may have missed some so there may be a few mistakes.)View Maps

  • Improved the maps slightly. The captions for the places were offset too far. Still need to do some improvements to the program that generates these maps as when icons are close together, the captions get confusing. View Maps
