There are a number of good genealogical programs out there for various
personal computer and handheld platforms - some free but mostly for sale. I
use Legacy (http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/) which is actually free in the
standard version, but some of the fancier reporting and charting functions
are only available in a relatively inexpensive ($24.95) add-on package.
Their new add-on for timeline displays (Genelines - same price) looks really
interesting for analyzing family groups; I just ordered both of them.

Subject: Kin diagrams
Dear colleagues,
Does anyone know of a programme that can be used to construct kinship
diagrams from kin data, so that their structures can be compared? Ideally, I
am looking for one that would transform the data on relationships of persons
to a reference individual into a family tree, including those persons who
must logically have existed (e.g. deceased spouses). I am dealing with
patrilineal households in which sons continue to live in their fathers'
houses after marriage.
