You have shown us the output you want when the input has two parents and one child, and you have shown us the output you want when the input has one parent and more than one child. What output do you want when there are two parents and more than one child, such as with the input:
Code:
USIM1357-11A	11A	Father	Jim Smith
USIM1357-11B	11B	Mother	Jane Smith
USIM1357-11C	11C	Son	        Jack Smith
USIM1357-11D	11D	Son	Jim Smith
USIM1357-11E	11E	Daughter	Janet Smith
USIM1357-11F	11F	Son	        Jerry Smith

And, can there be a Father and/or a Mother with no Sons or Daughters? If so, what output do you want?

And, can there be a Son and/or a Daughter with no Mother or Father? If so, what output do you want?

Can there be anything other than Daughter, Father, Mother, and Son (e.g., Grand Daughter, Step Son, Brother, Aunt)?
