Descendant Box Chart

 

To start this report, pick Descendant from the main screen and then pick Box chart.  The descendant box chart program will print a descendant chart that has each person in a box and has lines connecting the boxes.  The oldest person is at the top, and the person's children are below, and the grandchildren are below them, and so on.  When you display the chart, you may use the arrow keys to move around the chart. 

 

If you want smaller boxes, pick Options and make the name length shorter.  You will also get smaller boxes printed if you change the printer font to a smaller font size.  To find the width of your chart, click on Start and then click on the Size menu item.

 

This report currently will print up to 18 generations and up to 1200 boxes wide.

 

The 4 Family Box chart is similar, but it has the descendants of four families and not just one family. For the 4 family box chart, pick a starting person and it will find the great grand parents of that person and then all the descendants of those four families.
