geneology or pedigree db

[TLJ]

My daughter has started raising rabbits. She cannot afford the pedigree software. I was hoping I could build a database to print out pedigrees. I created some tables dealing with animal info, breeding info, and litter info. The tracking of litters and breeding easy. The part I cannot figure out is the queries and reports to print a pedigree so that she can give it to purchasers. Does anyone have a simple geneology or pedigree db that they would be willing to share or know of any db's that are available for little or no cost?

The PAF5.Exe is a great human geneology program that is free.

I have written a database that generates 5 generation pedigrees for our cats. I have one table for the cats and I hold the ID of the sire and dam of the cat in each record. In this way, the table refers back to itself.

To generate the data for the pedigree, I have a query that includes my main table 31 times for the 31 animals in the pedigree. The pedigree itself is simply a report laid out in a tabular form to create the print.

In cat pedigrees, any cat with a title, champion, grand champion etc, needs to be printed in red, so I use conditional formatting to test for a title.

Hi Neil

Your info in this article was very useful and I can now produce my pedigree charts for my own breeding program. What I can't workout is how I would use the DB to produce a chart of the progeny for any particular animal.
Have you tackled this problem with your DB?

Thanks
