Publish an HTML home page for the site

Update XSLT to handle nearby locations

Data model extended to allow reference to location as being nearby. Update XSLT for related locations to accommodate this change. Nearby locations should be included in list of related locations. They should also be displayed on location profile page.

Include subject's siblings in family tree

Experiment with CSS/JS to see if it's possible to toggle their visibility. Revert if it becomes too cluttered.

Addresses near me

Display a map of addresses within a specific radius of that user's current location.

Use case: visiting an area and want to explore locations relevant to family history, so can incorporate them into day-out/walk/etc.

Visualisation: giant family tree.

Showing everyone...

Add historic map layer

As an extra layer on a location profile map. Toggle to switch between present day and historical layer.
