Any thoughts on formating information collected about a family tree? I have stolen shamelessly the font & format of your trilogy in cataloging the different family lines, i.e., wide margins in which to stick lots of interesting notes & graphics. The genealogical community’s documentation completeness standard is to list the birth date & place, death date & place and, where applicable, marriage date & place for each person in the database. There are some traditional graphical displays & numbering systems as well including the afentafel. My desire is to make the end document readable even though its full of redundant-looking facts.
