Yew

A memorial and family history theme, built with the care that subject requires.

== Description ==

Family history has requirements no ordinary theme meets. Dates are frequently uncertain — “before 1881”, “circa 1903” — and a date field that demands a day loses information. Yew stores and displays approximate dates as written.

Living people are hidden by default and cannot be exposed accidentally: the privacy check runs at query level, not at template level, so a stray archive or feed cannot leak someone.

Relationships link people to one another and generate the connections in both directions, so recording a parent creates the child link without anyone entering it twice.

== Screenshots ==

Numbered the way they ship in /assets/. Click any one to see it full width.

== Installation ==

  • Install and activate the theme.
  • Create person entries and set relationships.
  • Review the privacy setting for living people before publishing anything.

Living people are hidden until you explicitly publish them. The default is the cautious one.

== Frequently asked questions ==

Does it import GEDCOM?

No. The readme documents the field mapping if you want to script an import, but a bad GEDCOM import is worse than typing.

Photographs of living people?

They follow the same privacy rule as the person record they are attached to.
