Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System. To put

it shortly, it allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data

using your computer. Its functionality is somewhat common to other

genealogical programs. However, <SPAN

|
|
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

to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of
|
|
information directly into <SPAN

|
|
rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any
|
|
order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and
|
|
correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps. In short, a
|
|
tool that provides a way to input all your research into one place and do
|
|
your analysis and correlation using the speed, power, and accuracy of your
|
|
computer instead of pencils and unmanageable reams of paper. </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

ancestor the Active person. The display in that case is re-adjusted

to show four generations, starting from a newly selected Active

person. </P

When the top button is clicked, the Father of the Active person

the Active person the Active person. Again, the display is re-adjusted
