Relationship Charts

Russ said: The relationship charts are a great tool to give us a snapshot of that particular ancestral connection. Those diagrams would be of even more value if they could be printed, so we would have them at our fingertips as we search through the listings noted. Since FamilySearch is always touting its improvements, I am sure ALL of your patrons would welcome the ability to print their respective relationship charts. I know I would.

Fred Turner said: If you click Crtl P you can print the part of the relationship on the screen. There is a problem. Two copies of the page are set up for print. You must select only page 1, or you get two copies of the same page.

You then have to move the relationship to the next part you want to print, and repeat above. Continue until all parts of the chart are printed.

An addition to the Relationship Chart the would be helpful is showing your relation to each person, ie., 1st cousin once removed, GGG Grandmother, etc.

These relationships are shown in Relative Finder, so adding them to the relationship chart should be relatively easy.

Another option, on the side is to use "RelativeFinder.org" through the "Family History Technology" Laboratory, of the "Computer Science" Department, of "Brigham Young University" (BYU).



"RelativeFinder.org" is "Certified" by "FamilySearch", to work with "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

There are many 'Bells and Whistles" ...

You can even, "Download"; and/or, "Print", a copy of your 'Relationship' with a "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; or, even another User/Patron (provided, of course, you both approve/authorise the 'connection') of "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

Just a thought.

I use the Snip tool to save it as a PDF the part I want. Then I edit it in Paint. You can also convert the PDF to Word.

Where is the relationship calculator tool? I am probably just missing it but I can not find it...

What is being referred to here, and is the only relationship viewer in Family Tree, is the View My Relationship link that is in the header of every person page in Family Tree.

I would love it to go beyond 15 generation as my kids always ask me how they are related to the Kings and Queens and I have to try and chart it on paper because the My Relationship doesn't go beyond 15 generation and they are like 26 generations back and says no relationship found because of this.

That is the stupedist answer I have ever heard. For software that nearly does your genealogy for you printing in such a primtive manner is embarrasing!

There appear to be a few issues with printing a View Relationship screen with default browser settings.

Workaround (in Google Chrome) - I find that if you change to Landscape orientation, with no Margins, print at about 75% setting and select to print only the final page - that seems to be an acceptable view. If you aren't willing to play with the Print settings then by all means wait for FamilySearch to provide a seamless solution.
