|
|
that most genealogy programs were designed to provide the researcher the
|
|
capability to input information related to a particular family tree.
|
|
Most of these programs have allowed for the arranging and storing of
|
|
information consistent with the GEDCOM standards. They usually provide
|
|
means for displaying descendant or ancestral relationships by means of
|
|
graphical displays, charts, or reports. These may be augmented with
|
|
pictures or other media to enhance the data. Most provide for inputting
|
|
data on unconnected individuals/families that may or may not have a
|
|
relationship to the primary surname being researched. Various other
|
|
enhancements may also be provided in the genealogical program that
|
|
allows for different degrees of importing and exporting data from other
|
|
programs and printing the data contained in the various reports. </P

Each person is denoted by a white box bearing the person's name.

The two lines that converge on the box represent ties with the

person's Father (top line) and mother (bottom line). Solid lines

represent birth relations, while dashed lines represent non-birth

|
relations (such as adoption, step-parentship, guardianship, etc.).
|
|
When the mouse moves over the white box, it expands to display the

corresponding person's dates of birth and death. When the mouse is
|
|
placed over the family line, the line changes color to indicate an

|
active link: double-clicking on the line makes the corresponding
