DISPLAY FAMILY TREE
This display may be used to navigate through the entire
family. The cursor defaults to the name of the key in-
dividual represented in the tree. You may enter a name (or
number) in this prompt to display the tree of any individual
in your files.
The F4 key will sort the .GEN file by dates of birth. This
is helpful to display the siblings and children in their
order of birth.
The function keys F5 and F6 (MOTHER and FATHER) will change
the key individual to the Mother or Father of that person.
In this way you may quickly travel back through ancestral
family lines.
The F7 (TREE) key will display the tree of the person that
is currently under the cursor. Since the <DOWN-ARROW> moves
first to the key individual's children, you may move almost
as quickly through the descendant family lines as well by
hitting the <DOWN-ARROW> and then the F7 key.
The <PAGE-UP> and <PAGE-DOWN> keys will scroll the CHILDREN
and SISTERS AND BROTHERS fields to display (and allow you to
choose) more names than could fit on one screen.
The F8 key will save all information on this screen in the
.GEN file. It normally treats all brothers and sisters as
full siblings if they have not been shown otherwise, that
is, all siblings that do not currently have a mother and/or
father recorded will be saved as children of both of the
parents shown on this screen. This may require that half-
brothers and half-sisters be reentered using the individual
screen.
The F10 (SELECT) key is used to exit the screen and select
the individual under the cursor to be displayed in the
Genealogical Information screen from where this function was
first called up.
