Family Tree Formats

In this site there are three different tree formats.

·        Descendant Tree

·        Outline Tree

·        Dynamic Tree

 

The Descendant Tree has a classical family tree form of boxes connected by lines:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Descendant Tree is the most conventional display, but it takes a lot of screen space.

 

The Outline is a list in which each row corresponds to an individual and each generation has a different indent:

1 Common Ancestor
………2 Child1
……………..3 Grandchild1
……………..3 Grandchild2
………2 Child2
……………..3 Grandchild3
……………..3 Grandchild4

The numbers in each row are the generation numbers. Outline is more space-efficient.

 

The Dynamic Tree is similar to Outline, but each family branch can be collapsed and opened, like folders in Microsoft Windows Explorer:

   1 Common Ancestor
          2 Child1
             2 Child 2
               3 Grandchild3
               3 Grandchild4

 Dynamic Tree gives you the possibility to decide how to navigate in the tree.
