>Does anyone know of an algorithm in VFP to process/traverse a genealogy tree? I know it will take recursion, but I've not done that before. For example, for my great grandfather, I want to make a treeview of all his children, grand-children, great.... etc. Also, in a database which contains this data, including the children's birth dates, I need to do some processing for each parent and their children to build an age & mortality tree. Any ideas or pointing to resources for this type of thing would be helpful.

Mark, make it easy on yourself. Go to www.familysearch.org and download Personal Ancestral File. It's free. You can also download GEDCOM files from there and import them.
