The Complete Genealogy Reporter ver.2007.3.70526

Whatever genealogy program you use, you can now create comprehensive genealogy reports, books or web folders with fully cross-referenced narrative text, notes, sources, ancestor and descendant charts, pictures, family tree diagrams, and indexes of occupations, places, dates, anniversaries and individuals.

The Complete Genealogy Reporter enables users of genealogy software and websites to create comprehensive narrative reports and hyperlinked web folders from the contents of a standard GEDCOM file. The output may be configured to incorporate some or all of the people and families recorded in the GEDCOM file.

The Complete Genealogy Reporter was created primarily to create full and comprehensive printed reports, both for personal reference and to give to family members who may not be adept with computer and genealogy tools. It is also a powerful tool for proof-reading the key content of a GEDCOM file.

The Complete Genealogy Reporter differs from standard Ahnentafel reports (and almost all other types of narrative report) in the following ways:

Narratives

* Full details of all aunts, uncles, and cousins, plus their descendants may be included.
* Thumbnail pictures of individuals may be included in the narrative.
* Indirect branches may be included in the report. (Indirect branches are the relations of people who married into the subject's family.)
* Unconnected individuals may be included in the report.
* The relationship to the subject of each reported individual may be fully described. (e.g., "Second cousin by marriage, once removed").
* Children birthdates and occupation/residence events may be sorted by year (irrespective of the order recorded in the GEDCOM file).
* Unknown names may be rationalized into a standard form. (When this option is selected, unknown first names are reported as Mr. or Ms., and unknown last names are reported as "Unknown".)
* The upper/lower cases of names may be reported in a standard form of "Jane McKie", irrespective of the cases of the names in the GEDCOM file.
* Ages of individuals at the times of events may be included.
* Dates (however expressed in the GEDCOM file) are processed and reported in a standard format of either "1 May 1888" or "May 1, 1888"

Tree Charts

* Ancestry trees of each of the subject's parents may be included.
* Family Tree charts may be included as a section of the report. These are shown as four-generation segments which are fully cross-referenced between themselves and with the narrative sections.

Media

* In addition to narrative thumbnails, picture media may be included as a section of the report. The supported file types are BMP, GIF, JPG, PCX, PGM, PCT, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIFF and WMF. These are shown six per page and are fully cross-referenced to and from the narrative sections.
* A picture of the subject may be included on the Front Page.
* Media associated with burials (BURI tags) are reported as a separate "Places of Rest" Section.
* Media tagged as documents ("_SCAN Y" or "_TYPE DOCUMENT" tag) are reported as a separate "Documents" Section.
* Cutout images ("Marked Faces" in Family Tree Builder and "Frame Links" in Family Historian) are fully supported.

Notes

* Notes may be reported within the narrative or within a separate section which is fully cross-referenced to and from the narrative sections.
* Notes may be attached to sources, or have sources attached.
