In the same vein as Craig's post... :)

I really love Family Tree Maker. I've been using it for years and it's really a great program. Honestly, unless you have some super specific need that isn't being met by other programs, this is one area where rolling your own probably isn't a good idea. Those programs have soooo much to them. It's really worth the money to buy a good one, or even grab one of the free ones out there.

>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.
