Genealogy Software

[Larry Hazel <lhhazel@otelco.net>]

Does anyone know of any genealogy software written in Ada?  With source
available?  I thought I might attempt to write some.  Any suggestions for data
representation will be appreciated.  I haven't done much Ada 95, but a lot of
Ada 83.  Will need some way to represent dates going back hundreds of years
(maybe just a fixed length string since some of them will be of the form "ca.
1784").  Will need a person object (maybe abstract with separate child types for
male and female).  Will link to other person objects which represent spouses,
children, and probably backward to parents.  An event object (marriage, birth,
death, buying or selling property, ...).  Bibliographical text will also be
needed.  Storage of scanned pictures and documents.

Maybe this is too complicated for a 1 man home project.
