Ed, Do you mean that on the family view, the box to the left of the tag numbers is blank? This will have a colour in it to indicate which of your lines that person is in. If there is no colour, either you haven't set up this feature or that person is not in one of your lines. There are four colours used, each allocated to one grandparent of a person you idenitfy, typically yourself. To set up:
1. Navigate to the appropriate "base" person e.g. you. 2. Select Tools > Apply Ancestor Colours and click "Apply Color Coding" 3. To turn on Ancestor Colour Coding, go to Options > Customise > View and ensure Ancestor Colour Coding is checked. You can change the colours by clicking Change if desired. The colours will then be applied to each of your grandparent's lines. To see the tooltips Linda mentioned, you need to have Display Tooltips checked under Options >Customise > General. Hope this is what you were looking for!
