Displaying Genealogy with Adoptions and Multiple Remarriages Using the WHIteBasE

In this research, needs of displaying genealogy with various family relations are described and those solutions using our WHIteBasE method are proposed. Previous WHIteBasE method has perfectly been able to integrate each relation that includes a married couple and their children, and has been able to display complex relations with segment intersections easily. It has also been added that Genealogy with Direct Segments,(DS), Genealogy with Hooked Segments,(HS) and Annotation Data Always Displayed,(ADAD). In this paper, two new functions are added to the WHIteBasE method. One is ‘Genealogy with Adoptions’. Using ‘Adopted Segments,(AS)’, not only biological family relations but also social family relations can be displayed simultaneously. The other is ‘Genealogy with Multiple Remarriages’. Using ‘Double Bends,(DB)’, crossing relations more than 3x3 both sexes can be displayed perfectly. Our improved software that can display AS and DB automatically and seamlessly by only mouse operation is presented.
