The next chapter, might be for his wife and her ancestors, again that chart, with the different focus person, would work. I am telling "his" story, but I want to show his family and his ancestors. I might use this report in a Book, where I have the whole book or a Chapter in the book for that focus person.
Where are you going to use that report? and who is the audience? But, I have, maybe, a different question / point of view. I agree with what you are saying, by the way. In this specific report, then you loose the Family of the focus person. The only way you can get a Pedigree Chart for that couple, would be to pick a child. As I understand a Pedigree Chart, it is meant to be for one person.
So - either supercharge Onepage or have another software company write up something like it with the suggestions that the people want.This topic comes up often, that is, how to generate a Pedigree Chart for a "couple". But my pleas to them so far do not bring anything concrete.ĩ. The Mormons are working on it, and students at BYU are coding the next generation. Onepage is so great, but it has been taken off of the web. 1) In the Family Tree Maker 2014 'Publish' Workspace and 'Collection' tab for my great-grandfather, I clicked on the 'Descendant Chart' icon: 2) When I clicked on the 'Create Chart' button in the right-hand panel above, the chart opened with my previous chart settings. You can import a number of file types to get started, and you can export your files when you're done. I have tried reducing to 8x10 and it fits but there is so much wasted white space around the names. Family Tree Maker 2014 works well for storing and sharing your family tree. It will work if the main part of the names are in a larger font. Let us print to a 16x20 pdf, then let us reduce the whole thing to 8x10. Yes I know Chip is already there, so put Chip in AGAIN ok?ħ. I do not appreciate when FTM says "Chip is already in the database".
Insert and move a picture, add notes, etc.Ħ. And please God, let us go into this chart and enter, change, edit info. The generations can have a set font size then go down smaller as the chart progresses (if desired).ĥ. The names of each person will appear on one if wanted, or broken into more than one line if we choose. Again, we can choose to show their marriage partner (and their ancestors), and whether to break the chart again or not.Ĥ. Now,onto the next generations - Grandpa's grandkids. We can select if we want the in-law's ancestors or not.
From Grandpa, it then shows all his and Grandma's kids - plus the marriage partner of each kid. When it gets to Grandpa, we break it again, to show his siblings but not their kids. But not the siblings kids, except for Grandpa's line. We would break it at her kids so we can get the siblings. That is we can start with Grandpa's great grandmother. Let us break a chart (like Onepage does with a "root person"). I would like to rally the troops and appeal to the goodness of software programmer hearts to help us out. Onepage will print his ancestors, then his descendants. That is, pick my grandfather as the root. If the name is longer, it simply won't print.
However, the names will not fit on one line and Onepage does not break names to use more lines. But the report I get asked about most often is a custom cemetery report. Using it I've created family health histories, address lists, residency reports, and more. (A pedigree of my dog, printing all names) Family Tree Maker comes with a variety of default reports, and it also has a Custom Report that lets you mine your family tree for the information you're interested in. It did in 4 pages what FTM takes 3000 pages to do. These software companies could accommodate us, but noooo. Printing charts is really a sore point with me.
