Poland is being swept by a wave of discussions on various aspects of IVF application. Scientists of various disciplines are getting involved in these discussions as opponents to this form of procreation. Referring to research carried out all over the world, they demonstrate that children born thanks to the in vitro procedure are significantly more susceptible to all sorts of disease. The author, surveying available research data, shows that, in reality, the worse health of in vitro-conceived children deals with a narrow number of well-identified disorders and in most cases is of correlative, not causative nature. The main reason for the weaker health of these children is often connected with the advanced age of the parents who choose IVF and their health condition (mothers' in particular), as compared to those who become parents in a natural way.

The article seeks to present a practical introduction to the reconstruction of families on the basis of birth, marriages and death registers by means of the Microsoft Access software. The author uses the descriptions and some applications of the popular software as well as documents of natural movements of people in a selected parish in Upper Silesia. He describes the creation and initial processing of a database containing information about births, marriages and deaths. The article also presents a two-part algorithm describing the various steps to be taken to combine the relevant pieces of information from the database in order to obtain a reconstructed set of families. The algorithm can be extended and used for other types of social research as well. The reconstruction does not require a knowledge of programming languages. An embedded system of application queries is sufficient. This is why the computer technique described in the article can be universally applied.
