Re: FTM Extended Family Chart

It doesn't even have enough colors for my little chart I want. There are only three different colors that I can see. And there are descendants of eight children.

That being said, I don't use the extended family chart to show my family as such.

I use it to show disconnected islands of people that I inadvertently made while deleting people. If you [like me] delete the top of a tree branch you are left with their children/grandchildren that you didn't notice.

These will be at the bottom, on the left, with no "tracking number." You do have to be careful.. I have two of these which are on purpose, but any others I mark to delete.

Better for other purposes are other charts, I know the one we are supposed to use is pedigree but my absolute very favorite chart is the horizontal hourglass chart. By using fishtail I can get a lot of people in there, and it shows their generations [or can] and the cousins and second cousins.. ok, it's my favorite.
