[LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Hi all, I'm here plugging away at my genealogy data entry. I have two questions related to one another. I am trying to find a way to do an ancestor tree (graphical) that shows the siblings of my ancestors on the same tree. I couldn't find a way to do it on Legacy, and then through to try out the charting program. I did an ancestor standard tree on there, and though it looks nice, I still can't find a way to list siblings on there either. My first question is, is there a way to do a visual ancestor tree which includes siblings? Then, in my attempt to find out if I could do this in charting, I clicked on the help button, and then on the help system button and it brought up a BLANK html window with no text. Where did the help manual go within charting? I also don't know how to go about checking for updates and updating charting when necessary. Thanks for your help!

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Hi Ron, Hmm... I'm surprised there's no one that has ever tried this. I do of course want the focus to be on my ancestors, so I don't want the sibling families... just the siblings listed along side my ancestor. My reasoning is because I need a visual way to see the relation between many people with same or similar names. Raymond, Raymond J., etc. Any ideas at all about how to accomplish this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Dawn, I don't think it is a case of nobody having tried it, indeed I can remember similar sorts of requests over the years.

It may be possible to create the html and use another program to transfer that to, say, a pdf format, but I have never tried this.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Patricia I am not surprised that you are confused. All I produced was a direct line descendant chart with siblings from one earliest male ancestor.

I thought that Dawn was interested in those with the same surnames. Judy Patricia wrote Judy, I am a little confused or missing something in your reply to Dawn.

Then, in my attempt to find out if I could do this in charting, I clicked on the help button, and then on the help system button and it brought up a BLANK html window with no text. Where did the help manual go within charting? I also don't know how to go about checking for updates and updating charting when necessary. Thanks for your help!
