INSTRUCTIONS FOR NAVIGATING THE TREE AND PHOTO VAULT

Once you've logged in, the first page you'll come to is the ‘public home page’. This page explains what the site is about and the three main parts of it. From there you can choose either to download Christie’s book (once complete), start exploring the family tree or view the video. 

Scroll down further on the landing page to start exploring some of our family ancestors. Select one of the names from the top surnames list and that will take you to another page that has a full list of people by that surname. You'll see in that list of names what looks like a letter Y on its side. Click that little icon and it will take you through to the family tree associated with that person. 

If you want to begin by just having a look at John’s or Gwen’s family trees, go to the very top of the first page, menu on black, click on either John's name or Gwen’s name will take you to their family trees at that level (Ancestors and Descendants). A couple of things worth noting at that level is that when you hover your mouse over one of the people in the tree, you'll see it brings up other information about them. You'll see that there's also a link with them in there so you can go to other people. You'll see on the right or lef) side there's a yellow arrow, if you click on those it'll take you to another level of their family tree.  And looking at the tabs at the top of the page, you can see your other Ancestors tab, but you can then click on the Descendants tab, the Individual tab, Family and so forth. When you select Ancestors in that line of tabs, you'll see in the next level down there's now a Ahnentafel tab, which combines photographs and text in a pseudo-narrative form. 

PHOTOS AND TAGS

It's a very powerful app, it's quite extraordinary what you can do with it. For example, once you log in, have a look at this page https://undergrove.net/showmedia.php?mediaID=1639  You can tag individuals on the page so when you hover your cursor (or tap once on a tablet) it shows you the names. If you then hit that link (double tap on tablet) it takes you through to their page for more information about them. Incidentally, that is the only photograph that I've come across of Dawn and Brian and both of their parents (taken at their Grove Street wedding reception). 

If you just want to have a look at the photographs and other media, see this link:  https://undergrove.net/admin_media.php  There are three action items to the left of each item on that page: the pencil icon is to edit, the play icon is to have a look at that image and the red cross is to delete. Please do not delete without checking with me first. 

If you want to tag people in a photograph, as I've described above, select the pencil (edit) action. That will take you through to the version which you can edit. Scroll down to the bottom of that page, and you'll find the Image Tags section. Select the icon to open the section, which includes all the instructions you'll need to add tags to the images. Don't forget to Save+Exit afterwards.
