/* igi-merge - a LifeLines IGI database merging program by Jim Eggert (eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu) Version 1, 2 February 1993 Requires LifeLines 2.3.3 or later. Version 2, 17 February 1993 bug fix, better suggestions Version 3, 15 March 1993 more tunable suggestions, added windup and restart Version 4, 9 November 1994 Requires LifeLines 3.0.1 or later. Minor windup bug fix. This program helps you merge IGI data. IGI data consists of "families" which are actually events. A real family may be documented by several events in the IGI database, and thus be represented by several "families". This program will help you to locate and merge those "families" back into real families again. The program locates candidate "families" to be merged by comparing the soundex, double initials of husband to husband and wife to wife, and event years. (Double initials are like "JO" for John. Any double initials are allowed to match. Hence George Michael will match Mike, and Betty Lou will match Lois Amelia.) If the comparison indicates a possible match, the program prompts you for approval to merge. If you answer with y or Yes or yazbotchit, the program will merge those two families, otherwise it will not. The two husbands will be merged together, as will the two wives. The comparison is made following a strictness code entered at the beginning of the program execution. The user is prompted for the strictness level, which means more precisely: 1 soundexes and double initials must match 2 soundexes must match 3 soundexes and double initials must match, but empty soundexes match anything 4 soundexes must match, but empty soundexes match anything 5 double intitials must match 6 nothing needs match I usually use the strictness in a multiple-pass method: First I run igi-merge with strictness 1. I import the resulting GEDCOM file into an empty LL database, and run igi-merge with strictness 2 or 3. And so on until I am satisfied. In any case, the event years are always used for declaring matches. Two families match only if their event years are within forty years of each other. If the events are marriage events, however, they must be within five years of each other. If a family has more than one event associated with it (for partially merged IGI data, for example), any marriage event has precedence. After families are merged, the program puts the children in birth order, and attempts to locate children who are really the same. It prompts you for approval to merge any two children born or christened in the same year. Any merged individuals will retain one copy of each name variant and of each variant sex. (There shouldn't be any of the latter!) Other data, such as birth and marriage events etc, are simply copied; duplicate information may therefore be retained after the merge. You are urged to edit the resulting file to look for and possibly delete such duplication. The resulting data is written to a GEDCOM file. You may read this back into a LifeLines database if you wish. If you run out of time (because, for example, you are merging ten thousand families), you can invoke windup. If you answer the family merge question with w (or windup, or Whatever), the program will act as if you answered all the remaining queries negatively. If you want to be really fancy, before you issue the w command, write down the families that you are being queried about. Then later you can read the resulting GEDCOM file into a new LifeLines database, and start up igi-merge again. When asked what comparison strictness to use, answer with zero. You will be prompted for the two families to restart the program at. Make sure that you enter the top family first, otherwise it won't work. The program will then resume your previous igi-merge session where you had left off. With windup and restart, you don't really have to have a single block of time to be able to merge a large dataset. The program does some rudimentary checking to see if the source data really is IGI-like. If not, it complains, but keeps on running anyway. Because it only writes a GEDCOM file, this program can't corrupt your database, so don't worry. The user interface depends on the size of the LifeLines screen, I have marked the sensitive lines with a /*#*/ */ global(famged) global(gedsex) global(names) global(ptable) global(event_year) global(event_string) global(event_type) /* 1=birth, 2=baptism, 3=marriage, and in the future 4=death, 5=burial */ global(compare_level) global(windup) func get_yesno(prompt) { set(yes,0) set(windup,0) getstrmsg(yesno,prompt) if (gt(strlen(yesno),0)) { if (not(strcmp(upper(trim(yesno,1)),"Y"))) { set(yes,1) } if (not(strcmp(upper(trim(yesno,1)),"W"))) { set(windup,1) } } return(yes) } /* Note that marriage events have priority! */ proc get_event(family) { set(event_year,0) if (e,marriage(family)) { extractdate(e,day,month,event_year) set(event_string,"m.
