An example of a vertical ancestor chart.
A chart is created by choosing Chart->New Chart menu. A focus individual for the chart must first be selected - implicit through a current family window, or a selected individual in the individual list or a selection of an individual in another chart.
The information in a chart is directly linked to the database. For example, changing a name in a chart will alter the name in the database.
Double clicking the name of a person in the chart will bring up a family window for that individual.
One convenient and visual method of entering data into the database is to start with the oldest ancestor in a family chart. Use the 'Add Son', 'Add Daughter' or 'Add Spouse' menu functions. Click on the names to edit the data. Note that Shift clicking ?on a name or date is a quick edit method bypassing the family window.
