Parents:

Children:

Francis Melville (M, 1883-?)
Edith Elsie (F, 1886-?)
Harold Beauchamp (M, 1889-?)

Celestine Cyril (M, 1895) *My grandfather*

All children were born in Birmingham.

Their occupations (that I have listed) are plain jobs like portmanteau maker (Harriet), bicycle tyre maker (Mary/May & Emily) and errand boy (George)

Celestine lied about his age to sign up for WW1 and faught in Flanders.  While away fighting he discovered his mother had died and his family had scattered, he only ever found his eldest sister, Harriet. I think he won a medal for his fighting but this is unconfirmed. The only entries I have for them all is living in Birmingham in 1901.

Does anyone here have their family tree stored on their own website within a MySQL database they've set up?

I'd like to get one set up on my web space but I can't for the life of me think of how the database would be structured - what tables where and what fields to have in them. That sort of thing.

The problem is I've got a lot of relatives around the UK and I'd love for them to be able to see my progress without me having to mail them now and then. A year or two ago I started working on a website which had no user interaction on at all. I had originally planned to burn this onto CD and pass copies onto family members when I'd finished but it wasn't long before I realised that you don't really ever finish adding to it.

If anyone would be able to post a dump of their table structures I'd be most grateful.

I've just installed the software and when I click on a button to search online it searches and hangs.

First I got the message that either the site is offline or I'm behind a firewall.

Anyone else having problems?

I've been sat here watching 4 hours of 24, my fiancee walks in from work with the News of the World newspaper. While flicking through it I noticed they are giving away one free download to commemorate Rememberance Sunday.

Can anyone explain that? Is it some weird kind of freaky coincidence?

I'm a bit lost on this one...
