Hi Shirley I have a family tree that covers 14 generations and over 5000 names. I have TreeDraw but I recently used the charting within Legacy to produce the family tree with all names including spouses on it for a family reunion. All on one chart in 8pt font spreading many metres around 3 walls of a large hall. I thought it better than charts I could get out of TreeDraw for the purpose
We also used some nice charts from TreeDraw I should add Its horses for courses Cheers Stan From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shirley Brodt Sent: Friday, 3 June 2016 1:49 p.m. To: Legacy User Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Complete Family Tree Hi R G, Thanks for replying. I'm working on five generations, but I think I'll buy the TreeDraw Legacy program to ensure that an attractive chart can be made.

I tried the Legacy Charting options, but for some reason only the current record names appear. The only chart that works with all records is the Descendant chart under Chart Reports, which appearance is not what I'm looking for. I think I might have to buy TreeDraw Legacy for all the entries to appear properly. You say that none of the chart programs work well, so I'm a bit confused. In my online search, the solution that was shown was the TreeDraw program, in which one could format the lines, fonts, colours, etc. once it imports the data from Legacy. If you have a chance, I'd appreciate your feedback on this. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

My experience with any of the charting programs, you will only be able to use maybe 4-5 generations and beyond that you are creating such a large chart, you can't see or print it on any reasonable size of paper or poster. I have about 40,000 people in my database and anything over about 4-5 generations is too large to use. Some of my families go back 15-20 generations. In Legacy, you can create a chart of Fathers only that would span that many generations. In Legacy, use the Legacy Charting icon to the right of the Internet icon and you can plot lots of different charts. I would suggest you try some of those before purchasing other software. In some of my testing of Legacy Charting, I have created charts of over 100 generations. The problem is, you cannot print that size of chart - it is just a paper generator. If you only have a few people in your database with only 3-4 generations, then you could chart something useful to be printed. Anyway, just my thoughts, you won't be happy with what you are asking for.

I checked online, and I found that if I buy TreeDraw Legacy, I could use that for all the info in the Legacy data base. It seems like a waste of money for a genealogy program to not have the option to view the complete family tree. Any ideas or advice are welcome.
