Kith and Kin Pro manual

Kith and Kin Pro is a software package for storing, searching and documenting family trees. It features an easy to use graphical interface and powerful data management tools which makes it ideal for large or small trees.

Each family tree is stored in a relational database with a capacity of over 2,000 million records and you can have as many databases as you like. Kith and Kin Pro uses the powerful SQL (Structured Query Language) and other search tools to find data in the family tree. Results from searches can be used to form custom reports or text files for exporting to other programs such as spreadsheets.

The information which you enter into Kith and Kin Pro is organised into families. The main screen is a window called the Tree Area which displays each family as a rectangle. Relationships between families are shown by link lines - in fact, each link line with its male or female icon at each end represents a person. Using the mouse, you can drag and position the family rectangles within the Tree Area to form any tree layout you desire. The family rectangles can be used for fast, direct access to data by double-clicking on the required family. You can zoom in and out of the tree to give you an overview of the entire tree layout.

Navigating the tree on the screen is made easier by automatically highlighting related families. You can choose all families descended from a particular root family, all families containing ancestors of the root or just families which form a direct line between two families.

The family rectangles can be grouped into layers. By choosing to display only one layer, it is possible to manage large trees.

The program supports all the usual genealogical information; date and place of births, christenings, deaths, etc as well as aliases for each person. You can add extra fields to the person or family records to customise the database to your own requirements. You can also add pictures and OLE objects.

Multiple notes can be saved with each person or family. Each note can be assigned a privacy level which lets you choose later what type of notes you want printed in reports or exported to Web pages.

For the serious family historian, Kith and Kin Pro lets you store information about the documentation you have used in your research. Recording source documents and repositories lets you go back to re-evaluate your findings at a later date.

Kith and Kin Pro can display a timeline which displays a chronological list of events associated with selected families interspersed with notable events from history. The historical events can be edited and added to in the registered version of Kith and Kin Pro.

Kith and Kin Pro produces many different types of reports, including drop-line charts and textual reports. All reports can also be exported to Adobe PDF files. You can select a multitude of options and choose the fonts you want to use. The program can be easily modified to produce reports in any language.

You can import and export GEDCOM files to exchange data with other programs. Kith and Kin Pro will also produce Web pages so that you can make your family tree available to the world.

Features

Unique family tree display on screen lets you easily navigate your data.
Source document recording. Each field in a person or family data form has a button which lets you record a source reference for that field. The reference points to a page in a source document and the document points to a repository where the document is kept.
Export reports to Adobe PDF files which can be read by anyone with the free Adobe Acrobat reader.
Web page production. Completely automatic; all you have to do is upload the files to your Web site.
Simple searches. Type the text into the field you want to search for and click "Search".
Search for similar sounding surnames using Metaphone and Soundex.
SQL queries (Structured Query Language) for complex searching and producing custom list reports and text files.
Unlimited user-defined fields in both people and families. You can choose the field type; string, date, etc.
Almost unlimited storage. 2,100 million of any one record type in any tree.
Full GEDCOM V5.5 implementation. Registered with the LDS for Ancestral File and TempleReady submissions.
Multiple pictures can be associated with people, families and sources. Pictures can be included in Details reports and Web pages.
OLE objects can be associated with people or families. This allows you to store multi-media items such as video or sounds.
Duplicate record searching/removal assistance. If you regularly import or merge data with your existing trees, Kith and Kin Pro will help you identify, merge and remove duplicated records.
Multiple notes for each person/family. Each note allows 30,000 characters and you can have as many notes as you want. Give each note a description to help you find it and a privacy level to let you control when it gets printed or exported.
Data form edit fields pick lists. Right-click on, say, a "Place" field in a person or family data form and a list of the places which you have already used pops up. You just pick the one you want to get it entered into the field with no typing.
