Family Tree Statistical Analysis

davidCox17

Hi

Is there a tool out there that does statistical analysis on tree data. For example, if I wanted to find out which married couples in my family died within days of each other without going through 3000 pairs of dates in a very spread out tree. I'm trying to recreate and verify a number of stories my grandparents told me and if I could rack and stack statistics with simple queries or searches, it would help. I was. hoping ancestral quest might have something that would help me out but if it does, I can't find it.

Thanks

Dave

there are numerous third party software that allow for both download of FS data as well as custom report generation

check out the solutions gallery:

you might have to combine - the generating of some custom report like that from ancestry quest - but then dump such a report to a csv/text file that could then be uploaded to EXCEL or some database program for more complex analysis.

Thanks for getting back. I know it's an unusual question, but there are a lot of questions that could be answered if you could rack and stack metadata from a GEDCOM file into discrete viewable chunks. I've thought about using excel and I may pursue that.

Appreciate your feedback.

I agree - but such analysis is beyond the design of most genealogy programs

but often easily within the realm of program like Excel or database programs once they have the data imported in from a simple flat file that can be generated by a custom report output to txt,prn,csv.

I've the same question here. I'm into analytics and statistics. I've looked into FS development/volunteer programs, but for analytics we would need a "stage database"/"data lake" or at least be able to extract large volume data for analysis and processing.
