Tools: Import pedigrees

Characteristics of the input file:

A recommendation: Create a temporary database and make several import attempts and check the results after each attempt. If you find an error, modify the original text. For example, frequently birthdays inside a row with a name are not marked with the "*" symbol. It is impossible to recognize such situations programmatically—this would increase the number of false positives. Moreover, a name may contain name variants enclosed in parentheses, without parentheses, or with the "?" symbol. It is impossible to recognize these with a simple algorithm. It is better to extract such data, and various date formats, to a text block after the row with a name.
