Description

Our Family Book – called OFB – is a report generator for Family books, Ancestry lists, Ancestors' lists and Village Family Books and related index lists of different and variable setup. To do this it will read GEDCOM files, exported and provided by other genealogy programs. The main benefit beside the high flexibility for the output design is the identical output, independent of the genealogy program creating the GEDCOM file.

Features

• 4 different types of OFB's resp. Family books as Detaillist, Family Report, Persons Report and Family & Persons Report.
• 3 different Ancestry lists as Ancestors List, Descendents List and Top Ancestors List. The latter is by design identical to the ancestors list and contains only the top ancestors (earliest known ancestor). In a special form also those ancestors with just one missing parent, are included. As numbering system "Kekule", "Saragossa" or "d'Aboville" can be choosen.
• 2 Ancestors' lists for paternal lines and maternal lines, both as Ancestors and Descendants List.
• 15 Index Lists for first name, last name, family names, ancestries, place names, place of citizenship, occupations, birth dates, died dates, marrige / partnership dates, partnerships sorted by the names of the male and female, as well as male, female and all persons of the OFB as well as lists of sources, notes and repositories with direct link to the detailled data
• Beside a group of fixed data fields all others can be enabled or disabled by checkboxes, including media data and links to witnesses, godfathers/mothers, etc.
• 6 Date formats for the output (DD.MM.YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, YYYY.MM.DD, DD.Mon.YYYY, Mon YYYY, YYYY) and 3 different separation characters ( . / - )
• 9 Names formats with and without name prefix and suffix
• Selection of persons to limit the output to the group of persons desired
• Selection of locations/places to limit the output to the desired locations
• Limitation of generations for the ancestors list
• For privacy protection suppressing or replacing of dates, first names and optional data fields for a defined span of years (Output of a definable text for the date and the first name or only 1st initial of first name)
• Variable naming and sorting of output of the data fields and the Gedcom-tags of the standard groups within a family resp. person per menu
• Variable sorting of the families resp. persons of the OFB per menu
• Numerous options to design screen and printer output, e.g. suppressing of line feeds for comments, adding line feeds between the data fields
• Selectable form, size, effects and color of output fonts for various aeras.
• Colored design of the output by menu and a css-Stylesheet controlled output allows an individual adjustment of the output
• Creation of single output files per person / family and a cum. file containing all single files. A preface may be added to the cum. file.
• Integration of a preface to the OFB, e.g. for a short history of the village or family
• etc.
