Kinship Editor

Kinship Editor

The kinship module was designed for students to input and analyze their family's genealogy and study kinship structures. This application consisted of two drawing options: a classical genealogical family tree builder and an experimental family tree builder. Users could create classic family genealogical trees with associated personal information. The module allowed dynamic highlighting of patrilineal, matrilineal and blood relatives as well as direct ancestors and descendants. Trees could be saved and edited.
