Hi,
I am not sure if this should be a question or a suggestion, so I will start as a question.
First a quote. 'The global genealogy products and services market is valued at US$ 5.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to surge ahead and reach US$ 15.8 billion by 2033-end.'
Consider the Biddlecombe surname and all the variations thereof. In the late 1500's Ringwood was the centre of population within Hampshire, England.
Using made up numbers, say there a ten families living in the Parish of Ringwood in 1590. They are in two Big-Y DNA groups, say six and four families. Family A - F in Alpha and G - K (missing I) in Beta.
I would like to show how Family dispersed over time throughout Hampshire and adjoining counties, and other countries, progressively and interactively. The Family tree of Family A would be built elsewhere, hopefully through to current day, DNA matches. From that Family tree, there would be a male line, maintaining the surname, and other branches by marriage. Separate indicators for line and marriage elements. Perhaps squares for Ancestral Line (first surviving male), triangles for the remaining male line (retaining surname), and dots for other marriage branches. Colour for Family A.
So by moving a time line you could see the migration and growth of Family A.
Approximately six generations per hundred years, and ten children, at the start in 1590, but only 5 survive to adulthood. Progressively less children but better survival rates. That is a lot of dots on a map for Family A.
Repeat for the rest of the Alpha Families.
Again for the Beta Families.
Selection for Alpha or Beta, or Both.
Also Selection at individual or multiple Family level(s).
Is any of this possible? In a practical way?
I think I maybe expecting too much.
Add to all the above, the base map changes according to the date of the lates information being displayed.

Ivan
