HOURGLASS CHART

The Hourglass chart will show the ancestors and descendants of the selected root person on the same chart. This chart is a mix between the Descendancy chart and the Pedigree chart.

The root person is centered in the middle of the page with his descendants listed to the left and his ancestors listed to the right. In this view, each generation is lined up across the page starting with the earliest generation and ending with the latest.

If there is a downwards arrow on the screen under the root person, clicking on it will display a list of the root person's close family members that you can use the navigate down the chart. Selecting a name from this list will reload the chart with the selected person as the new root person.
