Creating Family Tree with Neo4J

Question

I have a set of data for a family tree in Neo4J and am trying to build a Cypher query that produces a JSON data set similar to the following:

{Name:  \"Bob\"         


        

Answer 1

The only way I have found thus far to get the data I am looking for is to actually return the relationship information, like so:

MATCH ft = (person {firstName: 'Bob'})<-[:PARENT]-(p:Person)
RETURN EXTRACT(n in nodes(ft) | {firstName: n.firstName}) as parentage
ORDER BY length(ft);

Which will return a dataset I am then able to morph:

["Bob", "Roger"]
["Bob", "Susan"]
["Bob", "Roger", "Robert"]
["Bob", "Susan", "George"]
["Bob", "Roger", "Jessica"]
["Bob", "Susan", "Susan"]
