Re: Heat Maps & Surname Tag Clouds


 

Thank you so much. This is so interesting. I found my Henry father-in-law on the map, kit # 69621, says he was from Coleraine, which is what the family history says. Many thanks. Charlotte Henry Hughes

There are some BETA quality changes on my experimental tree now:

1) You can search by known SNPs in a block as well as the Branch name.
2) The Locales... button will reveal a heat map of the most distant known ancestor's birth location. ?I plan to make this recenter on the centroid of geolocations, but the trigonometry is more than I am up to at this point today.
3) The Surnames... button will render a Tag Cloud of the surnames below the subclade you're viewing. ?Every time you hide or reveal the widget, it will rearrange a bit.

I expect there are a few bugs synchronizing the three functions, but it's 90% functional.

Remember that the heat map is only a representation of where someone typically in the last 300 years was born. ?It probably isn't very useful in divining the most probable location for origin.

Let me know if there are comments or feedback.

Thanks,
