 You walk down generations that way, and up generations by clicking on the boxes above either spouse.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0e416ec0.png" border=0 width="790" height="492" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Clicking on that "Edit" link for either parent or any child brings up an Edit box with tabs of General, Facts, Notes, Medical, and Address.  Notes is of particular importance as you can put anything you want there from obituaries to just family information.  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0ec19ef0.png" border=0 width="793" height="495" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The "Facts" tab gives the screen below.  You can add more facts such as baptism date, - all kinds of categories by clicking on "Add Fact"</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0e614f10.png" border=0 width="788" height="497" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The 7th icon from the left shows a family tree and you can select descendant or ancestor trees in many formats.  Below is a descendant tree down one generation and I've limited what is in the boxes.  You can click on Contents and change what fields appear in the boxes and also limit the number of generations shown in the tree.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0e741f00.png" border=0 width="833" height="496" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The 8th icon from the left leads to reports and under that I love the "Genealogy Report" .  You can select whether it is ancestral sequenced or descendant sequenced and with or without notes!  Here is a section with notes:</div> <div> <IMG SRC="0e942ed0.png" border=0 width="834" height="493" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The same report, but selecting without notes follows (shows the children, no notes!):</div> <div> <IMG SRC="0ea41f10.png" border=0 width="833" height="497" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> OK - but how to you jump to a different individual without walking up and down 'trees'?  Click on the 9th icon that looks like a set of index cards.  You can type in the name of who you want to "jump to" on the top (Last, First Middle) and select from those shown.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0eb40f60.png" border=0 width="832" height="502" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> OK - now with that, after entering your own family for a generation or 2, just play and check out all the options for the various trees and reports - pretty neat!</div> <bR> <div> Jim</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
