DESCRIPTION

       A selection of subroutines to handle individuals in a GEDCOM file.

       Derived from Gedcom::Record.

HASH MEMBERS

METHODS

   name
         my $name = $i->name;

       Return the name of the individual, with spaces normalised.

   cased_name
         my $cased_name = $i->cased_name;

       Return the name of the individual, with spaces normalised, and surname in upper case.

   surname
         my $surname = $i->surname;

       Return the surname of the individual.

   given_names
         my $given_names = $i->given_names;

       Return the given names of the individual, with spaces normalised.

   soundex
         my $soundex = $i->soundex;

       Return the soundex code of the individual.  This function is only available if
       Text::Soundex.pm is available.

   sex
         my $sex = $i->sex;

       Return the sex of the individual, "M", "F" or "U".

   Individual functions
         my @rel = $i->father;
         my @rel = $i->mother;
         my @rel = $i->parents;
         my @rel = $i->husband;
         my @rel = $i->wife;
         my @rel = $i->spouse;
         my @rel = $i->siblings;
         my @rel = $i->half_siblings;
         my @rel = $i->older_siblings;
         my @rel = $i->younger_siblings;
         my @rel = $i->brothers;
         my @rel = $i->half_brothers;
         my @rel = $i->sisters;
         my @rel = $i->half_sisters;
         my @rel = $i->children;
         my @rel = $i->sons;
         my @rel = $i->daughters;
         my @rel = $i->descendents;
         my @rel = $i->ancestors;

       Return a list of individuals related to $i.

       Each function, even those with a singular name such as father(), returns a list of
       individuals holding that relation to $i.

       More complex relationships can easily be found using the map function.  eg:

         my @grandparents = map { $_->parents } $i->parents;

   delete
         my $ok  = $i->delete;

       Delete $i from the data structure.

       This function will also set $i to undef.  This is to remind you that the individual cannot
       be used again.

       Returns true if $i was successfully deleted.

   Family functions
         my @fam = $i->famc;
         my @fam = $i->fams;

       Return a list of families to which $i belongs.

       famc() returns those families in which $i is a child.  fams() returns those families in
       which $i is a spouse.
