Description

There is a module description in German language available.

This module presents the core and the extended family of a proband. It is based on the Eskimo kinship system.

The user can filter the shown results by

• gender and
• dead/alive persons.

The admin can decide in the control panel

• which extended family parts should be shown and in which sequence they should be presented
• if filter options should be presented for users
• if a button "copy to clippings cart" should be shown
• how empty parts of extended family should be presented
• whether the name of proband is a full name or a short version
• whether a compact design should be used or an enriched version, showing a photo as well as complete birth and death information
• whether labels should be shown for each part of the extended family showing the generation shift and information about the related coefficient of relationship
• whether labels like "adopted child", "foster child", "triplet", "stillborn", or "linkage challenged" should be used to indicate special situations
  • GEDCOM records to indicate that a person
  • is e.g. a triplet, should look like "1 BIRT\n2 _ASSO @I123@\n3 RELA triplet" or "1 ASSO @I123@\n2 RELA triplet")
  • is stillborn or died as an infant, should look like "1 BIRT\n2 AGE STILLBORN" or "1 DEAT\n2 AGE INFANT"
  • has a special linkage status to the parent family (challenged, disproven, proven), should look like "1 FAMC @F123@\n2 STAT CHALLENGED"

The default presentation sequence of the extended family parts is oriented at the generation of the people in this part, relative to the proband

• great-grandparents // generation +3
• grandparents // generation +2
• uncles and aunts // generation +1
• uncles and aunts by marriage // generation +1
• parents // generation +1
• parents-in-law // generation +1
• co-parents-in-law // generation 0
• partners and partner chains // generation 0
• siblings // generation 0
• siblings-in-law // generation 0
• co-siblings-in-law // generation 0
• cousins // generation 0
• nephews and nieces // generation -1
• children // generation -1
• children-in-law // generation -1
• grandchildren // generation -2
• grandchildren-in-law // generation -2
