Hello.
I have to apologise as I have not been following any threads on anything lately.

and still went to the next step where I couldn't select anyone. I probably
shouldn't have got past stage 1.

Generations had it, Reunion has it.
I haven't seen FTM, a couple of others have it, but it is clunky and
difficult to customise.
It is the chart I use the most.

Also, if you research a location and find it to be wrong, it is good to

Yes, the all in one tree chart is big. I printed one for my family, it was
14 metres long, 1 metre high. I have access to a roll printer at work.
However, it is without a doubt the best thing for a family reunion.
