Family trees became a major focus for one of our brothers at Beta-Nu about ten to twelve years ago. Jody, being a "computer guy", created a kind of flow chart which he printed out as a banner and pasted on the hotel banquet room wall one Founders Day. That kinda faded as he moved on with his life.
More recently, another brother, Josh Bennett ("JB"), created an alumni website into which he incorpoated a big brother/little brother feature.
From a list of some 600 initiates one could select a brother and a pop-up would show his picture. Above, was his big brother's name. Below, was his little brother (or a flow chart if he had multiples). You could then click an any of those names and work your way up or down the family tree.
I had some old documents and was able to fill in many of the blanks, but a line will still come to a dead end if there is missing data or if someone never had a little brother.
JB now works at IHQ, so contact him there to find out how he did the online version. Good luck!
In ZAX,
Jono
