Individual Family & Siblings
Displays a summary of the individual family.
Summary of an individual family
Make Label / Exclude From Report
If this box is checked, the individual will not be considered as a real
individual, but as a symbol. Usually, this option is used to create
legends.
Permanent ID
You can change the permanent ID of the individual. This permanent ID is
automatically assigned when you generate a report or when you export your
family data to Gedcom or a text file. Enter a blank value to clear the ID.
It is not recommended to change the permanent ID, however you may want to
assign your own ID for a specific purpose.
To illustrate the difference between various siblings, GenoPro created a
sample genogram:
The current report on John is a fictionnal example of a complex family with
many different siblings.
Example of a complex family
Father and Mother
The biological father and mother of the individual, and then his/her adoptive
parents, if any.
John's parents are André &
Hélène and his adoptive parents are Max
and Nicole.
Siblings
Full siblings are children who have the same primary parents. They are
considered full siblings even if one has been adopted by another family.
John and Mary are full siblings because
they have the same biological parents.
Half Siblings
Half siblings have one common parent.
John and Mike are half siblings since
both have
André
as common parent. If Mike had been adopted by another family, the situation
would have remained unchanged.
Step Siblings
Step-siblings are related by virtue of a parent's marriage to an individual
with children from a former marriage or relationship. While there is no
relation by blood, there can be strong emotional ties and traditional ties
between step siblings, and it is very common to have step siblings living
under the same roof.
John and Rebecca are step siblings,
they have no parents in common, but John's father married Rebecca's mother.
Other Siblings
Siblings that are not related by blood or by marriage. One example of this
is a sibling by adoption.
Maxime is a another sibling to John
since John has been adopted by Maxime's parents.
Mate
Wife or husband of the individual. They are listed by date of
union by default. You may change the order with the Change Mate
Order... button.

Children
The last section is the list of children belonging to the selected
individual. By default, children are listed by birth date, but can be
shifted in ordered with the Change Children Order... button for
maximum flexibility. This is useful in case you do not know the birth date,
but you know the order, or if you wish to set an adopted child in the rank
he/she was adopted into the family, rather than by birth date.
Family Rank
The family rank is the birth order of the individual in the family. By default, this
value is automatically calculated with the date of birth of all children. However, if you don't know the date of birth of
some family members you may want to display them in the order they were born without having to specify an unknown birth
date. GenoPro does not enforce the child numbers to be consecutive or unique because there are special cases, such as the
presence of an adopted child or of a child who died at a very young age who will be given a special number.
