***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Dear Socnetters, I am a PhD Student working on a study on Social Networks in 19th century Northwestern Germany. I have data about kinship, godparents, neighbours, credit, and land transactions for two villages. These data are stored in MS Access databases. Now I want to look at marriage structures and alliances, and I would like to analyze the data as P-Graphs with Pajek. My problem is that I can’t get my family reconstitution data as P-Graph into Pajek. Pajek accepts data in GEDCOM format and transforms it into a P-Graph, but I don’t have data in that format. My data is organized in main and linkage tables in a relational database: one main table containing data on persons (names, dates, etc. and one ID for each person), another main table for families (date, place, one ID for each marriage). These data are connected by two linkage tables: one for spouses and the other for children. A data record in a linkage table contains one person ID and one family ID. I tried to configure the data with Access queries and exported them via reports and a text editor, but I was not able to get Pajek to import line labels (= names of persons). So I have two questions: Is there any possibility that Pajek creates a P-Graph, although I don’t have GEDCOM-data? Or is there a way to enter names as line labels, so can try to build a P-Graph in Access?
