Create children records for a family

Usage

add_children(x, xref, sexes, chil_names = NULL, pedigrees = "BIRTH")

Arguments

x

A gedcom object.

xref

The xref of a Family record.

sexes

A character string giving the sexes (from val_sexes()) of each child. For example, "FFM" to add two daughters and one son.

chil_names

A character vector of children's names. If provided, it must be the same length as the number of sexes. If you don't want to provide a name for a child, set the name to "".

Surnames must be enclosed in forward slashes. If all names you supply do not contain forward slashes then surnames will be taken from the father (or mother).

pedigrees

A character vector of pedigrees from val_pedigree_types(). This must be a vector of length one (which will be recycled) or the same size as the number of children. A value of NULL means no pedigrees will be defined. If you don't want to provide a pedigree for a child, set the pedigree to "". Defaults to "BIRTH".

Value

A gedcom object with additional child records.
