FamilyDOKU Rules
- Surname inheritance
- A child takes the surname the grid expects from the parents already placed, so fix the older rows before the newer ones.
- Hyphenated and adopted names
- A hyphenated family name and an adopted name are both deliberate. Do not shorten either one to make a row fit.
- Sibling name order
- Brothers and sisters are listed in a fixed order within their row, so swapping two siblings is still wrong.
- Repeated first names
- A first name can appear twice in one family. The repeat is placed by the relationship, not by avoiding the duplicate.
- Jr and III
- Suffixes run in sequence down a family line. A missing or out-of-order suffix is a rejected row.
- Patriarch and matriarch
- The top row is set by gender, and the grid will not accept the two founders the other way round.
- Spouse placement
- A spouse sits with the partner they married into, which decides the row their children belong to.
