The web around James J. Murphy and his father Patrick — every line is backed by the primary sources shown when you click a person, and every recorded tie carries a confidence (0–100). 45 people in the web, 145 more who appear when you switch on a filter; 671 connections. Colour shows the kind of tie. A filter lights up one circle of James's life (his family, the AOH, the Sagebrushers of 1907, and more); the years under the web fade everyone not named in the decades you pick.
