In early 2020, I launched an Eggebrecht Family Photos website on byethost.com, a free website. I used Softaculous to install Lychee which is a photo gallery software package. At some point, Byethost removed my website, likely due to inactivity. My current website did not include Lychee in their 1-step installer, so upon recommendation, I went with Piwigo gallery software. It has been a challenge, and I got a lot of help from AI in order to get it configured the way I want. Eggebrecht Family Photos is up and running but requires a login to access the photos.

Ancestor Tree Update
I still use an obsolete program (GEDHTREE) that converts my GEDCOM file to the Ancestor Tree portion of my website. I've invested a lot of time into the photo pages and it works, so why not continue to use it. Since I had not updated it since May 30th of 2017, it was time. I added 72 individuals (new total 1111) and 39 photo pages (new total 126) with about 85 new photos. I also fixed some broken photo page links. The update includes the additional sources and notes that I have accumulated since 2017. Lots of work, but worth it.
