Elle's bells

I am new to Filemaker Pro and am attempting to design a genealogy database for my own use. In theory, each individual in the database is assigned their own record displaying birth, death and marriage details etc. Should the individual have children, I would then like a list of the children's names to be displayed with the user being able to select or click on a child in the list which would then display this individual's record. Would it be better to use a portal or some kind of list/menu field for this. If using a portal, am I able to assign the 'go to record' script to each row (individual) in the portal or only the portal as a whole? Thanks for your help. Elle
