Thank you for allowing me to join you.
First of all I want to introduce myself.
I'm a genealogical buff and have been all my life. I come from two families with easily researched members, both being 'political' families of Switzerland and Great Britain, with the obligatory German, Spanish and huguenot ascendants.
As with most political families it turns out that many marriages are with people who are related, albeit distantly in some cases (4-5th cousins).
I have toyed with several family tree programs but never found the right one. What i am looking for is one that recognises different languages and different titles from around Europe and one where one can create sheets of interrelations; for example how various descendants are related or how marriages can show the relationship, apart from marriage, of the individuals concerned. I would like also, to see, for example, how many of my ancestors fought at the battle of Agincourt, by just issuing some command. OR how many times one is descended from a particualr individual and how many descendants this individual has in all line. I am fully aware that all this is conditional on the data input.I am also a stickler for primary and secondary sources. Et bien sur, pictures or portraits of the individuals....A tall order i know but there must be a package that does this!? Does anyone have any ideas?
