About this Site
This is a family genealogy site. My grandparents' families are Ellis,
Moyise, Razzell and Brattle, but instead of simply following these lines back, I have
also been looking at the lives of my ancestors' brothers and sisters, their
spouses and children. This has brought to light some fascinating stories
that I would otherwise have missed (see
Going deeper).
As far as possible I have avoided including living people in this site.
I have used a number of different genealogy programs, but the one I use
for organising my data is RootsMagic.
To produce this website I take a gedcom file exported by RootsMagic and
run it through a conversion program to turn the data into an XML file.
I use XSLT stylesheets to extract data from the master XML file to make the
different pages that you see.
