Ancestor Chart

   

When you pick Ancestor and then Ancestor chart from the main menu or when you click the ancestor button on the Edit screen, you can display a 5 generation ancestor or pedigree chart.  If you click on the main person, it will jump to the Edit screen.  If you click on any other name, it will make that person the main person.  To go to a spouse of the main person, double click on the spouse name (in the spouse box.)  To go to a child of the main person, double click on a child name (in the child box.)  If a person has multiple spouses, click on the spouse one time to see the children of that spouse.  The spouse that is highlighted is the spouse that will print on the ancestor chart when printing.

 

To print the chart, click on Options to set the margins and other options and then choose File and Print.  When printing, it will also include the locations for the events.

 

Also under Options, you can choose to show for each person either the BK code number or the standard ancestor number or no number.

 

You can print your personal message at the bottom of each page.  For example you may want to give your name and address.

 

You may also set the option to include Baptism dates when the birth date is unknown and the Burial date if the death date is unknown.

 

When printing multiple page linked charts, it will print 4 generations per page and you have the option to have each page start with person 1, or have the numbers continued.

 

To save this ancestor chart to a file, pick File, Create RTF file.

 

Press the Save Options button if you want to save the current options for the ancestor chart.  Then the next time you return to ancestor charts, it will have those options as the default.
