Familias is a widely used program for computations in forensic genetics. The
function documented here facilitates the use of paramlink for
specialized computations which are not implemented in Familias, e.g.
conditional simulations.

A data frame with two columns per marker (one for each allele) and one row per individual.
A FamiliasLocus object or a list of such.

An integer vector: ID of mother.
A linkdat object, or a list of such.
The Familias program represents pedigrees and marker data in a way that
differs from paramlink in several ways, mostly because of
paramlink's stricter definition of a 'pedigree'. In paramlink,
a pedigree must be connected, have numerical IDs, and each member must have
either 0 or 2 parents present in the pedigree. None of this is required by
FamiliasPedigree objects. The conversion function
Familias2linkdat takes care of all of these potential differences: It
converts each FamiliasPedigree into a list of connected linkdat objects,
additional parents are added where needed, and non-numerical ID labels are
stored in the plot.labels slot of the linkdat object(s).
