Claim:
A method of identifying data relating to individuals in order to establish chains of said data by means of servers, databases, and data transmission means, the method consisting in: using a data processor system comprising local centers for collecting data, each having a server and a local database, a central unit for aggregating data and equipped with a server and a central database, and data transmission means between the local centers and the central unit, each local center having means for creating an encoded first identifier of an individual by applying a first encoding algorithm to identification data of the individual, the first encoded identifier including identification data comprising the individual's surname, first name, and date of birth, and identification data of the individual's father and mother, comprising their surnames, first names, and dates of birth; in using the above-mentioned transmission means to transmit said encoded first identifier with a registration number and an identifier of the local center to the central unit which includes means for creating an encoded second identifier of the individual by applying a second encoding algorithm to the encoded first identifier, and to record the encoded second identifier in the central database in the place of the encoded first identifier, together with the correspondence between the second identifier, said registration number of the first identifier, and the identifier of the local center, wherein the second identifier of the individual includes encoded identification data comprising the individual's surname, first name, and date of birth, and encoded identification data of the individual's father and mother, comprising their surnames, first names, and dates of birth; comparing the second identifier of the individual with second identifiers of other individuals in the central unit to determine if the identification data of the individual and/or of the individual's father and mother are shared with identification data of others; chaining the identification data of the individual to identification data of one or more others if the same identification data of the individual and/or of the individual's father and/or mother are shared with said one or more others.
