Updated to conditional publishing codes to prevent private information from showing on the website version. The idea is to use a single set of source data to output to PDF for print, ebooks (ePub and amazon format), and website. |

Converted to new formatting, including chapters, a table of contents and index. Consolidated dates to a data base and let that data drive the outputs rather than editing dates in multiple locations. Added newly located photos. Added recent research by C.W. Lanham. Added information on Kevin’s maternal family line after a visit to his mother’s sister. Added photos that Clifford W. Lanham found with his cousin. Added ALT tags for HTML version for people with screen readers. Added source references using superscripts in the text. |

We wish to thank those who have so graciously assisted in gathering this information. No doubt some names, places dates, etc., have been omitted which should be included. If you know of or find any information we will be glad to add it to or change it as necessary.
Dedication
This family history content is dedicated to the Lanham Family for and in behalf of O.S. Lanham. He tried to interest his son and grandson in this work while alive, but we did not get interested until after his death.
Preface
This content is available because O.S. Lanham spent over a decade tirelessly working with inefficient tools. We are thankful for his efforts.
Intended Audience
This information was originally prepared by Oran Stroud Lanham about our family genealogical line. It is aimed primarily at our own family and any other interested parties.
Conventions Used
Why the Content has been Rearranged
When Oran Stroud Lanham originally created this content on "Our Lanham Line" he was not the end point, stopping at his life. He made an effort to include his children and grandchildren. This action indicates his desire was to continue the recording of our line for the sake of our posterity.
His arrangement naturally centered with himself and covered his ancestors.
This starts to get more expansive as more generations are included and more names are included because each person has a lineage on both the Father’s and Mother’s sides.
So to make this content more understandable to future generations of Lanhams and to help others access it easily, we have changed the organization of the information to include parts, chapters, and topics to help divide up the large amount of information.
-
Part 1 is our Lanham Line
-
This part of the content is organized pretty much just as Oran Stroud Lanham did it.
-
-
Part 2 is the Maternal Lineage for each of our Lanhams
-
Our Lanham Line is linked 50% by the Lanham males, but each generation has a different maternal line.
-
This new arrangement helps separate the maternal lines about which each generation would naturally be more interested.
-
O.S. Lanham started this process and included the maternal lineage for some of the Lanham line that he could find.
-
By having this in a separate part, it can expand as each generation brings an entirely new 50% of their lineage on the mother’s side.
-
-
Part 3 is the Sibling Lineages for each of the Lanhams and other families.
-
The sibling’s lines are not all in our line, but much of their lineage was included by OS Lanham in his original content arrangement. He just tucked this data into the area of one of our Lanhams in our direct line.
-
By moving it to a separate area with links, it is still accessible and easier to separate who is who and still follow the paternal lineage more easily.
-
The further descendants are being recorded and will be added to any public versions of this content after they pass away (for personal information security reasons, the living are not included).
Colophon
This content was originally authored on a typewriter by Oran S. Lanham.
His son, Clifford W. Lanham used Adobe PageMaker software to layout and revise the content electronically and then it was exported to PDF for printing as a book. When Clifford was ready to pass the baton to Kevin, Adobe had stopped supporting PageMaker.
O.S. Lanham’s grandson, Kevin W. Lanham, revised the content next. Because page-oriented software takes too much time to enter and maintain, Kevin moved to a flow-oriented design instead that easily allows new additions. Additionally, Adobe’s replacement for PageMaker was called Adobe InDesign and was too expensive. So the prior version was authored in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) using various XML editors (oXygenXML editor, and sometimes even Notepad++). One audience is added to conditional publishing, called "living" to exclude living families for public versions (e.g. our website) of the content going forward. The PDF file is printed by a printer to paper and bound by the copy shop using whatever binding options they have available.
The 2017 version went away from complexity towards simpler methods. Kevin realized he had to pass this manuscript down to a child or grandchild, he needed an easier way to publish that did not require buying expensive proprietary software tools repeatedly as they update and a data encoding format that is long lasting (30-50 years). After evaluating markdown, Kevin selected a plain text variant called "AsciiDoc" that allows for an index and tables. The editor can be any text editor. Kevin used one called Atom. The free and open source plain text tool is called AsciiDoctor. This tool runs on the ruby programming language, although you do not have to know how to code in ruby to use the tool.
The process of publishing this book with free tools is spelled out in great detail in the book called, Publish Your Genealogy: Easily Self-Publish Your Family History using Free Tools, by Michael Lynnmore on Amazon.com.
The first website had each family as a page. The first AsciiDoc website had the entire collection of information as one really long page.
In 2019 we moved to the Hugo static site generator because it also can process AsciiDoc content. We changed the links to the Hugo method when conditionally published as a website or using the normal book method when conditionally publishing as a book. We use the same source data for both the book and the website, so when we update data in one, it is automatically updated in the other too. So now the tools are Ruby installed, the Asciidoctor gem (command line app), the text editor Sublime Text (but any will do), Gimp for image manipulation, hugo static site generator for the website, asciidoctor-pdf for the print book, sigil and calibre for ebooks
The original source files and high resolution source graphics are in the possession of Kevin Lanham.
