Dear Stan, Now that's one big family! Thanks for the information. It's interesting that you used the Legacy charting instead of TreeDraw. I also produced the Legacy chart, which spans several pages, but the customer for whom I'm doing this work wants the 5 generations, with tons of offspring, on one page -- now that's a problem that I'll figure out one way or another.
Thanks again for replying. Shirley On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 10:21 PM, Stan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Shirley > > I have a family tree that covers 14 generations and over 5000 names.
