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.
