Purpose of the mod
To show each generation of the descendants of a person in a table. The generation to be viewed is selected by clicking on a radio button on the page.
Developer
This mod was developed by Jim Graham.
During the installation of this mod a file called descendtables.php is added to the root of your TNG web site. This file was adapted from another file written by Robin Richmond and used in various other mods. I am grateful to Robin for the work involved in producing that first file.
I am also grateful to Ken Roy and Graham Chamberlain for testing the mod.
Thanks also to Graham Chamberlain for the Dutch, German, French and Spanish translations.
