Direct descendent chart

[nancyl44]

Many years ago I made some direct descendent chart w/the following in each box Name, DOB & place, date of death & place, spouse name, followed by same information and marriage information. Each box is a different color and all 10 generations fit on two pages. I now have Reunion 13 and cannot for the life of me figure out how I did this. Maybe being 80 years old is part of the problem Any help would be appreciated.

Congratulations on being 80 years old. We should all hope to make it that far.

I can't think of any descendant chart (with that much information) that would fit 10 generations on two pages and still be readable, unless you trimmed the majority of people out first.

Perhaps you were thinking of an ancestral chart, like the fan chart, that could put 10 gens on two pages? Maybe a relative chart with 4 gens up, 1 in the middle, and 5 below? Possible if the families are all small.

Click on the down arrow on the Find tab and choose Find relationship. In the Find relationship window, drag the two people of interest from the People sidebar to the Person 1 and Person 2 fields at the top of the window. Their direct line relationship will be shown in the lower part of the window in a Tree View style.

You can save and print this by clicking the Share button (square with up-arrow) at the bottom of the window and choosing Preview/Print, which will open the chart in Preview. You can also get a Reunion boxchart style chart by clicking the Share button and choosing Create Chart at the bottom of the pop up menu.
