During his time at university, Mark followed a passion for technology, studying Computer Science. A combination of interests in web design, social networks and genealogy led him to develop TreeView for his dissertation. http://treeview.co.uk/ is a free online family tree builder that lets you record, display, chart, import, export and share genealogical information.
