Re: [LegacyUG] Chart question
2. It would also be great if I could do one chart, such as the hourglass, with our grandfather's ancestry on one side and grandmother's ancestry on the other. Is this possible? Try the Bow Tie chart with a child of the grandparents as the focal person. John S.

Re: [LegacyUG] Chart question
Duh! I guess I can do one from each of the children showing them in that position. Mary Beth --- On Sat, 9/19/09, John S. Adams oldbr...@hotmail.com wrote: From: John S.

Re: [LegacyUG] Chart question
Mary Beth, Instead of creating a separate chart for each child, I would add a phantom child to the grandparents and name it something like, Jane, Thomas, and Cynthia, JONES or Children of Sam and Margaret JONES, and choose the phony kid as the focal person for the chart. Of course you need to delete the phantom after you've printed your chart. -- From: Mary Figgins mbfigg...@yahoo.com Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2009 4:42 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Chart question Duh!
