This directory contains report generators for the LifeLines genealogy program. The following is a list of the report generators and what they are. If something is in the directory but not in this list or the information in this list is incorrect, please send mail to fred@stsci.edu and let me know. 2ppage version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of all INDI's in the database, with two records printed per page. Record 1 and 2 will be on the first page. It will produce ASCII file output. 4gen1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis Select and produce a ancestor report for the person selected. Output is an ASCII file, and will probably need to be printed using 10 or 12 pitch. 4 generations. 6gen1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis Select and produce a 6 generation ancestor report for the person selected. Output is an ASCII file, and will probably need to be printed using 10 or 12 pitch. 8gen1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis Produce an 8 generation ancestor report for the person selected. Output is an ASCII file, and will probably need to be printed using 132 column format. An example of the output, is not included because it would add 20k to this report. It is about the same as the 6gen report except it is 8 generations. ancestors2 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of all ancestors of a person, with sorted names as output, birth and death dates. It will produce ASCII file output. bias version 1.3 - 1993 Aug 23 - John F. Chandler Ever notice that certain families seem to have all boys or all girls? Sometimes five or six in a row of all the same sex? Is this a mere statistical fluctuation, or is something special happening? This program gives statistics for male vs female births. bkdes16-1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of all descendents of a person, and is presently designed for 16 pitch, HP laserjet III. This report produces an ASCII file, in output format. count_anc version 1 by Jim Eggert This program counts ancestors of a person by generation. Only unique individuals in each generation are counted. A person counts in all the generations he/she is in, but only counts once in the grand total. count_desc version 1 by Jim Eggert This program counts descendants of a person by generation. Only unique individuals in each generation are counted. A person counts in all the generations he/she is in, but only counts once in the grand total. cousins version 3.1, J.F. Chandler, original by Tom wetmore Finds the relationship between two persons in a database. coverage Version 1 by T. Wetmore, 21 February 1994 Displays "ancestor coverage," that is, what percent of ancestors have been discovered for each generation back in time. dates version 4 by Jim Eggert based on places by Steve Woodbridge Prints out the value of all the lines in your database with the DATE tag, along with enough information so you can find the line easily. The purpose of this report is so you can sort all the dates in the database, so you can look for illegal dates, make birthday lists, etc. The dates are printed in the order that they appear in the database, so the report is not very useful in its native form. desc-henry Version 5 by Jim Eggert (eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu) This program prints out a descendants report, assigning a modified Henry code to the individuals. The chosen ancestor, and all of his/her spouses, descendants, and descendants' spouses are included. desc-tex (directory) by Eric Majani Prints out a descendant chart in Tex. Has been modified to handle backslash `\` change in later versions of LifeLines. A comment has also been added to indicate who wrote it. A copy of setup.tex and tree.tex have also been included. This generates tex output. desc-tree Dick Knowles, knowles@inmet.camb.inmet.com, 18 Feb 1993 This report prints a descendant tree for an individual. A line is printed for every spouse and child including birth, marriage, and death information. The user can limit the number of generations or they can all be done. There are two slightly different output styles, tree and numbered. dump-ances version 1 by Steve Woodbridge Program walks through one's ancestors and dumps information about each family. It prunes the tree so an individual is only output once. It is a simple program that is easy to make changes to, if you want more or less into printed. I have included three date routines get_dates(), get_sdates(), and get_ldates for variations in the amount of event info that gets output to the file. The program lists all children of the families as it walks the tree. The ">>>>" marker on a child signifies the line of descent. eol by Tom Wetmore, modified by John Chandler Say you want to know who all of your end of line ancestors are, that is, your direct ancestors whose parents you have not yet discovered; these are the people most of us spend most of our time on researching. Here is a program that will produce the list. Any ancestor will be listed at most once, even when lines cross. fam10c by Cliff Manis Family Report for LifeLines (one family) fam16rn1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a family report of the person (husband), wife, their children, and some data about the children's marriages. It is presently designed for 16 pitch, HP laserjet III, printing a single page of information about that family. Output is an ASCII file. fami-grps by Steve Woodbridge Program walks thru one's families and dumps information about each family. It prunes the tree so an individual is only output once. The program lists all children of the families as it walks the tree. The "*" marker on a child signifies the line of descent/ascent. Output assumes 132 characters wide and 80 lines per page. familyisfm1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of all the INDI's in the database, in the format as seen at end of report. May be sorted easily to see the Father or Mother column sorted report. The report name come from: isfm (Indi Spouse Father Mother) It is designed for 16 pitch, HP laserjet III, 132 column. This report produces an ASCII output file. famrep1 version 1 by James P. Jones Family Group Sheet report program, with in-line source references. famtree1 version 1: 9 May 1993 by James P. Jones, jjones@nas.nasa.gov Contains code from: "famrep4" - By yours truly, jjones@nas.nasa.gov "pedigree" - By Tom Wetmore, ttw@cbnewsl.att.com - and Cliff Manis, cmanis@csoftec.csf.com "ancestor.ps" - orginial postscript program by Phil Lloyd, lloyd@prl.philips.co.uk This report builds a postscript ancestry chart, a "tree", containing data on five generations. It prompts for the individual to begin with and draws the tree including this person. The further from this person the less data is printed. Maximum data include: o date and place of birth o date and place of marriage o date and place of death o last place of residence o spouses of person #1 (up to five) as well as: o name, address, phone number and e-mail address of compiler o date of chart findmissing version 1 by Tom Wetmore Quicky program by Tom to look for people in the database that are "disconnected". No specific requirements on the version of LifeLines. fix_nameplac - a LifeLines names and places fixing program by Jim Eggert (eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu) Version 1, 8 January 1993 This is a quicky to show how to fix name and place spacing. formatted_gedcom - a LifeLines formatted GEDCOM listing program by Jim Eggert (eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu) Version 1, 7 September 1993 This program outputs a LifeLines database in modified GEDCOM format. Two additions to GEDCOM are made: an inter-record delimiter and a level indenter. These are set up as global parameters and initialized at the beginning of the main() procedure. genancc1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore The output of this report is a GEDCOM file of the following: all ancestors, all spouses and all children of all ancestors as well as the person him/herself and his/her spouses. This form of the program is probably the most useful for extracting data when a person requests data about someone from your database. gender_order - a LifeLines gender order statistics program This program computes gender order statistics for children in all the families in a database. Genders are considered to be ternary: male (M), female (F), or unknown (U). Children in a family form a pattern of genders by birth order, e.g. MFFM for a family consisting of a boy, two girls, then a boy. The frequency of these patterns is calculated. In addition to the complete gender pattern for a family, initial gender patterns are computed. For the above example, the initial patterns are . (no children), M, MF, MFF, and MFFM. The frequency of these initial patterns can be used to answer questions such as how many families with a boy then two girls go on to have another boy. hasnotes1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of all the numbers and names (INDI's) in the database which have a "NOTE" line at level 1 in the record. It is designed for 10 or 12 pitch, HP laserjet III, or any other printer. Output is an ASCII file. igi-filter version 1 by Jim Eggert (eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu) 1993/2/15 This program is meant to help you filter out useful data from a big IGI download. You specify what GEDCOM tag you want to look at, and what value you want to accept. Then it writes a GEDCOM file that contains only those items. igi-merge version 3: Jim Eggert (eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu) 1993/3/15 IGI data consists of "families" which are actually events. A real family may be documented by several such events. This program will help you to locate and merge those "families" back into real families again. index1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of all INDI's in the database, with sorted names as output. It is presently designed for 12 pitch, HP laserjet III, for printing a index of person in the database. It will produce ASCII file output. index_mm version 4 by Jim Eggert This program lists everyone in a database, with women listed by both maiden name and married name. It assumes that all women take the surname of their husbands, which is not always correct. To sort the resulting report by name, enter the Unix command sort -b +1 report > sorted.report marriages1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis Select and produce an output report of all marriages in the database, with date of marriage if known. Output is an ASCII file, and may be printed using 80 column format. An example of the output may be seen at end of this report. namefreq version 1 - 1993 Jun 16 - John F. Chandler Tabulate frequency of first names in database. This report counts occurrences of all first (given) names in the database. Individuals with only surnames are not counted. If the surname is listed first, the next word is taken as the given name. namesformat1 version 1 by Cliff Manis It will produce a report of how the names format may be printed using the LifeLines Report Generator. It is designed for 10 or 12 pitch, HP laserjet III, or any other printer. Output is an ASCII file. nonpatronymics version 1 by Jim Eggert Find all cases of nonpatronymic inheritances in the database. If the child's surname is not identical to the father's surname, print both out. If the two surnames have different soundex codes, undent the printout. Print statistics at the end. pafcompat version 2 by Jim Eggert This LifeLines report program checks a LifeLines database for compatibility with PAF. I used the Mac PAF manual for field length specification, and Mac PAF v2.11 for a little testing. partition version 6 by Jim Eggert requires LifeLines 2.3.3 or higher This program partitions individuals in a database into disjoint partitions. Each partition is composed of people related by one or more multiples of the following relations: parent, sibling, child, spouse. There is no known relationship between people in different partitions. The partitions are written to the report in overview form, full form, or in GEDCOM form, with the partitions delimited by a ------------------------------------------------------------ long line. You will have to edit the GEDCOM output to divide it up into its constituent files to be able to import the GEDCOM back into any application. pdesc1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis and James Jones It will select and produce a descendant report for the person selected. Children of each spouse are printed below that spouse. Descendants report format, which print the date in long format. Output is an ASCII file, and will probably need to be printed using 132 column format. pedigreel version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis Select and produce a ancestor report for the person selected. Ancestors report format, which print the event in long format. Output is an ASCII file, and will probably need to be printed using 132 column format. pedtex (directory) by Eric Majani The directory includes a readme containing part of the original posting, the slightly updated version of pedtex posted later, and setup.tex and tree.tex required in processing the output. pedtex was updated to handle the backslash `\` change in newer versions of LifeLines. This generates tex output. places version 5 by Jim Eggert based on original by David Olsen Prints out the value of all the lines in your database with the PLAC tag, along with enough information so you can find the line easily. The purpose of this report is so you can find all the places that seem wrong (misspelled, ambiguous, incomplete [left out the county name], etc), and double-check them or correct them. No specific requirements on the version of LifeLines is mentioned. ps-anc2 version 2 by Fred Wheeler Generates Postscript ancestral and descendant charts. The ancestral charts can include the siblings of all direct ancestors (aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles, etc.). A multi-page poster chart can also be generated. The chart format is based on the program GedChart, by Tom Blumer. ps-pedigree (directory) by Steve Woodbridge This report generates Multiple linked Pedigree Charts. Each chart is 7 or 8 generations and as a line moves off a chart the new chart number is referenced. The output of this report is a POSTSCRIPT file. The text size is very small but readable (it seams less readable as I age!) on 8.5x11 paper with 8 generations and larger but somewhat compressed at 7 generations per chart. And an index of all persons on the charts is also created. Includes ps-pedi.ps which is required by the report generator. register-tex by David Olsen This report prints, in book format, information about all descendants of a person and all of their spouses. It tries to understand as many different GEDCOM tags as possible. All source information (SOUR lines) is in the footnotes. This generates tex output. register1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore It will produce a report of all descendents of a person, and is presently designed for 12 pitch, HP laserjet III. All NOTE and CONT lines from data will be printed in the this report. This report will produce a paginated output. It is similiar to the report 'regvital1'. regvital1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore mods by Cliff Manis This report does have a footer and header. It will produce a report of all descendents of a person, and is presently designed for 12 pitch, HP laserjet III, for printing a book about that in ancestor. It prints a sorts listing of names, at the end of the report of everyone in the report. All NOTE and CONT lines will be printed in the this report. This report will produced a paginated output. This report produces a nroff output, and to produce the output, use: nroff filename > filename.out relate version 1 by Tom Wetmore Finds a shortest path between two persons in a LifeLines database. Inspiration from Jim Eggert's relation program related_spouses Version 1, 31 March 1993 by Jim Eggert This program identifies spouses with known common ancestors. For each marriage of related spouses, the spouses' names are printed, along with the first common ancestor in each branch of the ancestry tree. relation version 3 by Jim Eggert This program calculates the relationship between individuals in a database. It does so in three modes. Mode 1 just does one pair of individuals and then exits. Mode 2 does any number of pairs with a common "from" person. Mode 3 does all pairs with a common "from" person. In general, mode 1 is fastest for simple relationships, but if you want one complicated relationship, you may as well do them all. showlines1 version 1 by Tom Wetmore It will produce a report of all ancestors of a person, and is presently designed for 10 or 12 pitch, HP laserjet III. Output is an ASCII file soundex1 version 1 by James P. Jones Produces a chart of all surnames in database with corresponding SOUNDEX codes. It is presently designed for 10 or 12 pitch, HP laserjet III. Output is an ASCII file. stats version 4 by Jim Eggert requires LifeLines 2.3.3 or higher This LifeLines report program computes mean statistics of various quantities binned over other quantities. The quantities it knows about are ages at and dates of birth, christening, first and last marriage, first and last child's birth, death, burial, and today; the number of children, siblings, and marriages; and sex, surname, soundex, and any simple GEDCOM tag. These can be combined nearly arbitrarily and evaluated over the whole database, or restricted to either ancestors or descendants of a chosen individual. Further restrictions on the individuals included in the statistics can be based on any quantity that the program knows about. The program will optionally print out the names of all the individuals included in the statistics. tinytafel1 version 3, Jan 1994, J. F. Chandler, from Jim Eggert This report will produce a tinytafel report on a person. Output is an ASCII file. It should be edited to translate any non-ASCII characters, to shorten long place names (to 14-16 characters), and to indicate interest level after each year. tinytafel2 version 2 by Jim Eggert based on tinytafel1 This report will produce a tinytafel report on a person. Output is an ASCII file. It should be edited to translate any non-ASCII characters, to shorten long place names (to 14-16 characters), and to indicate interest level after each year: verify version 7 by Jim Eggert Checks for all sorts of different conditions in a LifeLines database. It checks the actual information rather than the database integrity.
