The Stone Family Tree

Welcome to the Stone Family Tree website.  This is intended to give some information about my family tree and that of my wife, Pattie.
 
I have been building up this information on and off for 25 years and the main problem has been how to display it.  What I really wanted was a source file that will show the tree in the way I want and which will let me make changes without having to re-draw potentially large portions when information is added or amended.  The other requirement was the ability to include hyperlinks from the entries on the tree, without losing them when a new version is produced.  I believe I may have now found an answer to this and I hope to start constructing this site in earnest shortly.
 
As a brief introduction, I am Jerry Stone, (originally Jeremy), and here is the immediate family:

   Sid Stone --- Margot Lipman

To give you an indication of what is to come, the tree diagrams currently include around 400 people, and when printed out take over 50 A4 pages. I am trying to put together a page on each person on the tree, and also include some of the many family photos.
In the meantime, here are some photos from a recent family event.
On 7 May 2004, my mother died from cancer. On Sunday, 17 April 2005, a memorial service was held at Edgewarebury cemetery, where there is a commemorative rose tree for her and my father, who died in 1977.
The following photos show the site and the gathering at Josie’s house afterwards. Click on the thumbnails for enlargements.

I'll be adding more to this site soon, so watch out for updates.
