Identifying missing nodes within a graphically represented family

A system comprising:

• a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• provide a plurality of hierarchical records at a storage device, wherein each record in the plurality of hierarchical records is associated with a parent record and one or more associated records, wherein the parent record is higher in hierarchy than the record;
• receive a user request identifying a first record among the plurality of hierarchical records;
• identify a first group of hierarchical records at the storage device among the plurality of hierarchical records based on at least the parent record of the first record;
• compare the associated records of the first record to each record among the first group of hierarchical records;
• identify a missing record among the first group of hierarchical records that does not appear among the associated records of the first record;
• generate a graphical representation including the first record and the first group of hierarchical records on a target output medium, wherein the missing record is represented on the graphical representation using a visual cue such that the missing record is visually set apart from the first record and the first group of hierarchical records on the graphical representation;
• update the associated records of the first record to include the missing record.

• identify a missing record among the first group of hierarchical records that does not appear among the associated records of the first record;
• generate a graphical representation including the first record and the first group of hierarchical records on a target output medium, wherein the missing record is represented on the graphical representation using a visual cue such that the missing record is visually set apart from the first record and the first group of hierarchical records on the graphical representation;
• update the associated record of the first record to include the missing record.
