FTM

Legg inn av Patscga » 20 nov 2004 19:22:46

I have nieces and nephews who would like to like to see ALL the people to whom
they are related and I don't know how to do that with FTM. When I print out a
genealogy report, it lists only those from whom they are directly descended.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Which version of FTM are you running? I think this may be a reasonably
recent addition.

If you have more than about 50 people in the database it gets tricky for the
program to layout everyone on the page. The result can be very messy
sometimes. Personally I prefer Genbox Family Tree for printing a "Tree of
everyone" - it allows you to move the boxes around on the page to tidy it
up. Perhasp FTM can do this now?

Click on the persons name in family view, then "View" on the drop down click
on Kinship report. all relatives and in-laws will be displayed.
Click on "File" then "Print Kinship"

Version 6 (1999) and later have the All-in-One tree.

What I would really love to see is a "genealogy report" (not kinship report)
that displays all the people to whom this person is related. I wonder if any
software has that capability.

I have FTM v.11 and you can move the boxes to where you want them.

I was thinking of upgrading my copy of FTM. Can I ask...

Say you spend an hour moving boxes around to make a nice tree. What happens
when you add a person to the database? Do you have to repeat all that work
or does it allow you to add the new person to the existing tree?

No, you can save the view you edited and the new person will arrange itself
the way the program directs it to, but the other boxes you moved previously
will stay where you put them.

Thats what a kinship report is. Shows everyone in the file who is related to
the primary person and how.
