Descendent report: Unveiling your family tree’s legacy

Exploring one’s family history is a journey through time, a quest to uncover the roots that anchor us in the tapestry of human experience. At the heart of this exploration lies the descendant chart—a powerful tool that maps out generations, revealing the intricate web of familial connections that define us.

What is a Descendent report?

A descendent report is a visual representation of a family tree that focuses on the descendants of a particular individual. Unlike traditional family trees that typically start from a common ancestor and branch out to encompass all descendants, descendant charts trace lineage downwards from one or more starting individuals.

How to create a Descendent report?

1. Click on the “Reports” menu and select “Descendent report”
2. The descendent report will be generated for the root member.
3. If you want to see the descendants of another member in the tree, set that person as the root person and generate the report.

The report will normally display up to four generations. However, you can change the number of generations as follows:

1. Click on the Tools button option from the side menu
2. Change the required number of generations from the “Number of generations” dropdown menu.
