D3 Force Graph · Palladio-Inspired
Palladio
Family Network
A D3 force-directed network visualization of Stadum family relationships and place connections — inspired by the Stanford Humanities + Design Lab's Palladio tool. People, places, and the links between them.
About Palladio
Network analysis for history
Stanford's Palladio (Humanities + Design Lab) lets historians upload CSV data and visualize it as maps, networks, and timelines. This page replicates the network graph view using D3 force simulation with real Stadum family data.

Reading the Network
How to read this graph
Each node in the network is either a person or a place. Links between nodes show the relationship type — use the filter controls above the graph to show or hide specific link types and isolate patterns.
Click any person node to open their profile page. Click any place node to open the place page. Drag nodes to reposition them. Scroll or pinch to zoom.
Person node — click to open profile page
Place node — click to open place page
Born in — person's place of birth
Lived in — significant residence or community
Parent of — direct parent-child relationship
Married to — spousal relationship
Palladio vs. this graph
What's different here
The Stanford Palladio tool accepts a CSV upload and renders a browser-based network. This page embeds the same data directly — no upload step required — and adds clickable navigation to archive profile pages. The underlying D3 force simulation behaves identically to Palladio's graph view.
