Edition 0.8

• Many duplicate person records and event records have been merged, providing a more coherent dataset, and a significant number of new records and individuals have been added from the Charter Rolls (1199–1300), Patent Rolls (1201–1307), Memoranda Rolls (1266–1293), and select manuscript sources.
• Where multiple spellings or versions of a person’s name appear in the records, these have been tagged, and all the variants are presented on the person’s page. This work is ongoing and will allow future study of naming practices.
• Eighteen new biographies of featured women have been added, bringing the total to 36.
• New filters that allow searching by primary and secondary sources have been added to the search page.
• Former distinctions between women and their relatives (male or female) have been replaced by women and male relatives.
• Two new experimental features have been added to person pages: network maps showing all attested connections we know about (for all women) and generated family trees (for featured women only). We are working on these features and in particular on supplementing attested relationships and individuals with people and relationships we can reliably infer from records, or from secondary sources, to further extend women’s family trees.
• A minor refresh of the site presentation style has been done.
