Done it (compressed and attached).
Pdf was made from the dot by

dot -Tpdf < t.dot  > t.pdf

dot -V gives "dot - graphviz version 2.26.3 (20100126.1600)"

For example, around marriage 197 (in 1886), 6 of the 12 (!!!)
children are placed above (older) than the wedding, possibly
for reasons of space.

I think that then other nodes are placed "rank=same" with these nodes,
so the damage spreads.

Also in the local sub-cluster of people below marriage 197:
persons 542, 512, 44 are on the same rank, but the dates are 1897,1897, 1903.

Despite this, on the next (lower) rank, we have person-277, date 1904, and
person 654 (date 1898).

Other examples can be readily found.
