Method and apparatus for generating an all-in-one family tree

摘要

A method for organizing a conventional family tree database file (40 and 50-56) to allow a user to simultaneously display all ancestors and descendants of the file. A family tree (40 and 50-56) is established by traversing the file multiple times to associate all parents (50), spouses, and children of each individual with the individual's respective parents (50), spouses, and children named in the file.
