The descendants charts produced by FR and PAFUTIL are woefully
inadequate. Particularly annoying is the abbreviation of dates
(born BEF 1988 becomes 1988 etc.) and names: with long surnames,
all given names sometimes reduce to a single initial. Dave Hurd
wrote a program which was a vast improvement, and which has now
been rewritten to display more information and also do `cascading
descendants charts.' This option displays all of an individual's
blood relations with spouses, printing one descendants chart for
each ancestral couple (parents, both sets of grandparents, four
sets of grandparents, and so on, if present in the database).
Additional features enable CASCADE to print basic information for
all the blood relations of any individual in the PAF data base.
The cascading pedigree charts option in PAFUTIL prints pedigree
charts with all of the individual's ancestors; it also has an
option to print a family group record for each ancestral couple.
The cascading descendants charts option in this program instead
prints a descendants chart for each of these couples.
Duplication is avoided by indicating under the parent on the
grandparents' chart which descendants chart contains (starting on
its first page) the parent's own descendants, rather than
reproducing these three times (on the parents' own chart, and on
the chart of each set of grandparents); and so on for earlier
generations. This cross referencing also works for any family
which is doubly related to the root individual. The second time
the family is encountered, a message is printed referring to the
page/chart where that family and its descendants are printed.
PASCAL source code is included.
