FAMILY DETAILS PAGE

This page will show you an overview of the family that you chose on a previous page.

From top to bottom you will see the Personal Details boxes of the husband and his parents, the wife and her parents, and the children.

The layout and contents of the Person Boxes are the same as the boxes that you already know from the Pedigree and Descendancy pages.

To the right of the Parent boxes you may see an arrow if more ancestors exist in the file. When you click that arrow, you will move up a generation to show you a new family page with the previous parents now listed as the husband and wife.

At the right side within the name box you may see a Zoom (magnifying glass) icon which you can click to reveal more details about the individual. When you click the name you will be taken to the Individual Information page of that person.

Also at the right side you will find a small menu to take you to pages with charts or more information. Some of these menu items also have sub-menus which will appear when your mouse pointer approaches the parent menu item.

The Family Group Information box shows all known facts and information about this family, such as marriage, multimedia objects, and notes. In the Fact Information box, clicking a place will take you to the Place list, where all other families and individuals who are connected to that place are shown. Clicking a date will jump to the Day calendar, which will show all events that happened on that day and month in history. Multi-media objects can be clicked; this will open a new window in which the object is viewed. When you click on the picture caption, you will see the picture on the MultiMedia page. If you click on a Source link, the details of that source will be displayed on the Source page.

Below the name boxes of the children you find the Add a child to this Family link. Next to the name boxes of the children you see the Family Group Information link. If you have enough rights, you can edit, delete, and add data and facts here.

As with the Individual Information page, you will see a menu at the top right of the page. Entries in this menu take you to other pages where you can get information about this family or perform other tasks related to this family.
Contextual help is available on every screen; make sure that the Show Contextual Help option in the Help menu is on, and click on a ? next to the subject.
