Text Reports

In addition to the normal graphical representation of genealogical data, there are also a number of standard format text reports.

The following examples, based on my own family, illustrate these.

 

Journal Descendant Indented Chart Kinship Report
Individual Report   Detail Report

 

 

The Descendant Indented Chart, despite its name, is a text document that in effect displays the same information as a standard Pedigree chart, but in text only format.

The Kinship Report can be very useful. It shows the relationships between one person and all the other people on a pedigree chart/family tree.

The Journal is a potted biography of a person in purely narrative form, and includes details of his/her descendants.

The Individual Report is similar in many ways to the Journal, but concentrates on one individual's life only.

The Detail Report combines elements of both the Journal and Individual reports, to lay out the key events in an individual's life, in a tabular format.

 

Any of these reports can be included as part of a research report. In some cases, where it seems appropriate, they will be included as a matter of course, but if any are specifically required, please let me know at the outset of research.
