Abstract

Need for automatic creation of genealogical models rises as the amount of digitalized and transcribed record from historical sources. Usually it is necessary to distinguish what is genealogical model by an axiomatic system. Automatically created models need not to fulfil the axioms when record is wrongly interconnected with other records. If we are capable to decide whether a model is a genealogical model, we can better produce models automatically from a set of transcribed parish registers record. In this paper we introduce an algorithmic approach to creation of possible models of a parish society in the middle Europe from a set of transcribed baptism, marriage and burial records. It is shown that probabilistic estimation of person interconnection from different records could be helpful for reconstruction of a societies through several centuries.
