|
|
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

|
|
provide all of the common capabilities of these programs, but, more
|
|
importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common

rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any

your analysis and correlation using the speed, power, and accuracy of your

represent birth relations, while dashed lines represent non-birth

relations (such as adoption, step-parenthood, guardianship, etc.).

When the mouse moves over the white box, it expands to display the

individual (active person) or a set of individuals. The options

for this report are broken down into contents, privacy, and advanced

destination directory for the images, and a link to the index page.

Privacy options allow you to omit private records, restrict

living people), and to omit comments and text in source information.
