Request for New FamilySearch UI Recommendations

[Gordon Clarke]

Developers,

 

We are looking for a new, intuitive and effective way to assist typical members (ie.
members with limited computer and genealogical experience) to enter in a Desktop Client or Web Application family information about parents, children, spouse(s) and siblings for up to four generations. Event dates and locations, if known, should be captured for the birth, death, and marriage of each family member.

 

Below are some of the methods that we have seen:

 

* One big form per family where you leave unused siblings or spouse(s) blank.

 

* Forms dynamically generated by the number of spouse(s) and children.

 

* Add persons and info as you need it.

 

* Pedigree for just names then drill down to add the detail information.

 

* One big pedigree where you leave unused areas blank.

 

* Multiple Descendency charts for each set of great-great grand parents

 

* Many different combinations of the above.

 

Please respond to this email ASAP, if you are interested in taking time to prepare a
description of your best new, intuitive, and effective solution. More details will be
emailed to all respondents.

 

Best regards,

and I may be able to contribute. I will be able to show very shortly!
