No good ones. Genealogy is hard to describe in plain language, let
alone a programming language. If it's not homework, consider buying
application softtware. I understand the Mormon Church has a good one.

I was checking that out. Mike Sherrill also pointed out their database. I've
been asked to look into this by a large organization. I guess that's
something for which the mornoms qualify!
There are elements to this kind of thing, I'm sure, that aren't readily
apparent when you run an existing program. I was hoping to get an idea of
how a G database is structured. For example, what is a common
table/relationship structure for documenting a large family tree? How does
that structure change when you're doing, say a hundred or a thouscand
families?

Store persons separately from their interrelationsh ips.
Don't be surprised by loops in the personal relationships, by adopted
children of unknown parentage, or by outright lies.

Sometimes the lies or errors are in the written records, while family lore or
legends are correct. For years I have tried to reconcile a birth entry in a
parish registry with a lot of things that are generally accepted in two
families. There is no fit at all. After gathering a lot of evidence to
support the generally accepted stories, and considering my own recollections,
I have come to believe that the written record is wrong.

I want to read a gedcom database and plot an icon at
a geographic location based on a user's query.
Can you help me find:
1) A python interface to gedcom?
(gedcom is a well documented linear
file so I can probably do this myself
if an interface is not available)

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
