Description:

Family is a RISC OS application for editing and printing family trees.
It has a sophisticated algorithm for laying out a graphical representation
of all the descendents of a given person on the screen or a printer and a
simple system of menus and dialogue boxes to allow you to move around the
tree and modify it.  You can store collections of related people in files.
Each person has a name, sex, birth and death dates, mother, father, spouses
and notes.
