Judy, I am a little confused or missing something in your reply to Dawn. I understand creating the new file, but then how do I use the charting to produce the file with all ancestors and their siblings? All I have been able to get is the ancestors. Patricia Thomas-Hill tris...@bellsouth.net

To check for updates click on "Tips & Updates" (the last item on the Charting toolbar ribbon) As regards the chart you want In Legacy tag all ancestors on an unused tag (Family View.> Edit > Tag records) . Then on the second screen Check Direct line Ancestors Also if you want them, check "Include other spouses" and "spouses of siblings". Then go to File > Export to > Legacy File, Give it a name and then check "all records with an individual tag of " your tag number. Use this file to produce your chart. It takes longer to write than do! Judy You wrote 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!
