Historic Timeline
Posted: 23 Aug 2015 20:13
Hi, this is my first post.
I've tried searching the forums to see if this query has been asked before but can't find anything so here goes.
The idea of a map for life events is great and I find the plugin very interesting, however it got me thinking.
It would be nice to be able to put one ancestor's lives into context with historic events. So I guess what I'd like to see is to be able to select a time period, say 1800 - 1900 and along with a date line of one or more ancestors' events (selectable birth, marriage, death etc) insert notable dates ( waterloo, crimea, invention of the telegraph etc) in fact anything the user chooses as being significant to them. It could be military, royalty of even of local village significance.
The timeline chart plugin is a good starting point but I'd like to be able to view to results from a different perspective I suppose.
Any thoughts anyone?
Brian
