genealogy

Does anyone know of a good class to read in .ged files Gedcom is a file format that is used to store genealogical information. My goal is to write something that would let me import a ged file and export a .dot file for graphviz so that I can make a visual representation of a family tree thanks if you can help Heres my best attempt so far. It seems to be working for what i need though its defiently not full proof ( then again my family tree is rather large and that adds some complexity) please let me know if you think i could make anything more elequient struct INDI { public string ID; public

I just don't know if it's even possible, but would love to use d3.js as it looks so well-made, and apparently versatile. There are

I'm currently working on a small genealogy experiment and would like to implement a simple family tree like in the picture below. The best search results so far for this only yielded examples where a child can only have a parent node.

Currently I don't have a fixed data schema for this. I've chosen d3.js for this because it looks like would be capable of doing the job . I just don't know how or even where to start. Tutorials
