From: [email protected] Subject: [FHU] Descendant Fan Charts To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected].ca.mail.co mcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Is there a way to create a "descendant fan chart" in FH 5 instead of an "ancestor fan chart?" ------------------------------ A ancestor fan chart is easy because it only shows the direct ancestors and everyone has two parents so the chart expands in a predictable way. With a descendant fan chart consider one of my great grandfathers. He had 9 children who each had from 11 to zero children. Two of them had four children and 1 had none. My grandfather had 11 children who each had between 5 and 1 children who each had between 4 and zero children. An ordinary descendant chart looks very lopsided and dividing the space on a fan chart, which is restricted, would be difficult. DaveT In Sunny South Yorkshire
