Genealogy of Homer Beers James

Homer Beers (Jim) James[WWW Page] has written a book about his ancestry. With his permission I have tried to make the information more accessible by breaking it up into smaller files, adding a hypertext table of contents, and index. This contains a lot of historical and biographical information about medieval ancestors.

I use Thomas T. Wetmore'sLifeLinesgenealogy software for UNIX. One of the advantages of LifeLines is its report language. Using it I have written the programs which create the Lines of Descent (rfc.ll),Genealogies (gw.ll),Pedigree Charts (ped.ll), and the Brief Descents(lod.ll) sections of my genealogy page.
