About hafkenscheid.com

After a number of homepages that lacked content altogether and were little more than practice runs, I finally decided to get my own domain and create a "real" homepage. It has taken me a while to actually sit down and write it, but now that it's up, I am quite pleased with the result. The background images were scanned from an old map that has the Hafkenscheid hamlet on it. My wife prepared them for use on the web, since she is a graphic designer (actually, one of the best in the northern hemisphere).

All HTML, ASP and CGI pages that form this website were written by hand with the use of EditPad. Just say NO to Frontpage, Dreamweaver and the likes!

The database that is the source for the display of my family tree was created with Family Access Web, an excellent freeware program by Bill Leagans, which converts a GEDCOM file to an Access database so you can display its contents with ASP.
