The only package I know of which will handle such a large dataset is
PEDPAK, written largely by & distributed by Alan Thomas, who is in
Bath, England. I don't have any more details on his contact address,
although could find someone who does. The package is not public domain,
& costs some significant $$, I believe. Nothing that is being used routinely
in human genetics comes close to handling that large a number of individuals.
PEDPAK uses a marriage-node representation of pedigrees.
