public class Gedcom

private string gedFile;
private StreamReader fstream;
public Gedcom()

public string[] GetIndex()

//
if (fstream == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error opening file stream.", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Hand, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1);
return null;
}
StreamReader fstreamCopy = fstream;
