What is the purpose of this website?
This shall be a platform to gather the living and the dead people sharing the surname "Marwede".
I plan to create a kind of database with basic information of each person whom I know of (only if he or she agrees, or if the nearest living relative agrees), and perhaps a big family tree.
Also historical data about the spreading and the origin of the name could be collected.
Don't expect too much, since I don't have much time for this at the moment... I see this as a long-term project.
Therefore support in form of suggestions or raw content are appreciated.
Who is behind this?
Nina Marwede, software engineer, living in Oldenburg/Germany.
Why only English?
I want the site to be as accessible as possible. But I don't have the time to make it multi-language. Since most people understand English, it seems a logical choice, doesn't it?
Todo
- Code a real database.
- Since the family (name) seems to be much more spread than thought initially, I'd like to find or program a tool for the graphical presentation of our family tree.
